  • Place peppers, scallions, parsley, cilantro, and salt in a blender. Add water and process until smooth.
  • Heat oil and butter over medium-high heat in a 4-quart saucepan with a tightfitting lid. When the butter starts to foam, add rice, stirring well to coat each grain. Cook, stirring occasionally, until rice is fragrant and slightly golden, about 3 minutes.
  • Add blended ingredients to the pan and mix well. Simmer for 1 minute, then stir in chicken broth.
  • Return mixture to a simmer, then reduce heat to low. Cover and cook until liquid is completely absorbed and rice is tender, about 14 minutes.
  • Remove from heat and let rice sit, covered, for 5 minutes. Uncover and squeeze lime juice over rice. Stir well.
