Blend the water, cilantro, onion, garlic, and season with salt and pepper until you obtain a homogeneous mixture; set aside. In a saucepan over medium heat, heat the oil and add the onion (this will help give the rice a richer flavor when cooked); once the onion is slightly golden, add the rice; cook for 3 minutes, stirring constantly until the rice turns golden. Pour the cilantro sauce, mix a little to integrate flavors, and let it cook on low heat for 5 minutes. Pour in the chicken broth, mix very well, and cook for 5 minutes. Incorporate the corn kernels and cook until the broth has been absorbed. You will know the rice is ready when it is fluffy and tender. Serve on a large plate to eat with family and garnish with cilantro leaves; don't forget to enjoy this delicious cilantro rice with a glass of Del Valle Frut® Cítricos.
