Ingredients

　　1 small onion, chopped fine

　　1 tablespoon vegetable oil

　　1 large garlic clove, minced

　　4-ounce can mild green chiles, drained and chopped

　　1/2 cup long-grain white rice

　　3/4 cup low-salt chicken broth

　　1 scallion green, sliced thin, if desired

　　In a small heavy saucepan cook onion in oil over moderately low heat, stirring, until softened. Stir in garlic, chiles, and rice and cook, stirring occasionally, until rice is translucent, about 1 minute. Add broth and salt and pepper to taste and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low and cook pilaf, covered, until liquid is evaporated and rice is tender, about 20 minutes. Fluff pilaf and stir in scallion.
