Mexican Green Rice (Vegan) - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    1 cup rice (preferably long-grain yellow)
    2 tablespoons olive oil (I think canola oil would work too. Recipe originally called for 2 tbsp lard)
    1/2 small onion, finely chopped
    3 poblano chiles
    1 3/4 cups vegetable broth
    1/4 cup cilantro leaf, finely chopped
    2 teaspoons lime juice
    salt, to taste (I used 1/4 tsp sea salt)
Preparation
    De-vein poblanos, puree in a blender or food processor with 1/4 cup water, and strain.
    Soak the rice in boiling water for 15 minutes. Drain and rinse it in.
    cold water; drain very well.
    Sautee the rice in hot oil for a minute or so.
    Add the onion. When the rice sounds like sand as it is stirred, add the pureed chiles and continue to cook until thickened.
    Add the broth, cilantro, lime juice, and salt (to taste).
    When the liquid comes to a boil, cover, lower heat, and simmer until tender, about 20 minutes.
