2
Adjust amount of jalapeno and seeds based on heat tolerance. Option 1: Both jalapenos and both seeds. Option 2: Both jalapenos and only half the seeds. Option 3: Both jalapenos and no seeds. Option 4: One jalapeno with no seeds. I used option 2, and the sauce came out like a medium salsa heat level.", "for the rice: In a medium sauce pan, bring water to a boil. Add rice and dried onion and lower heat to super low. Cover and let rice cook for 18-20 minutes or until all water is absorbed and rice is soft. Add 1/2 cup of chimichurri sauce to the rice and mix until rice is coated.", "I served my rice with some cumin and lime shrimp and lots of extra chimichurri for dipping sauce."]
