An experiment that turned out well. Not just for New Year's any more.

Sauté the oil, onion, garlic, chipotle and chiles in a large frying pan over medium heat until the onions are transparent, about 10 minutes. Add the rice and sauté, stirring frequently, for another 5 minutes. Add remaining ingredients except for broccoli, bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer, covered, until rice is nearly done (40 minutes for brown rice, 15 minutes for white). Add broccoli, but don't mix it in. Continue simmering, partially covered, for another 8-10 minutes, until broccoli is tender-crisp. Stir and serve immediately. *A chipotle (chi-POTE-lay) is a dried, smoked jalapeño pepper, available in some grocery specialty sections or at Latino markets. It gives the dish its characteristic smoky taste.
