Elevate meals with this versatile rice dish. Perfect for lunch or as a flavorful side with roast meats. Utilize leftovers to create delicious rice cakes. Opt for nutrient-rich brown rice, pre-soaking recommended for quicker cooking, or use white rice as an alternate option.
Ingredients:
  • 360 g brown or white rice
  • 2 tablespoons sunflower or olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1 onion finely chopped
  • 400 g can of chopped tomatoes
  • 1 teaspoon paprika optional
  • sea salt
Instructions:
  • For brown rice, soak in 500ml water in the fridge for 4 hours or overnight to reduce cooking time. For white rice or unsoaked brown rice, proceed without soaking. In a pan with a lid, heat oil and butter. Cook onion until soft and golden, about 10 minutes. Mix canned tomatoes with enough water to reach 700g for white rice or 850g for brown rice. Add paprika and salt to taste. Drain soaked brown rice, if using. Add rice to onion, then pour in tomato mixture. Simmer with lid on until rice is tender, around 20-45 minutes. Enjoy the crispy layer that may form at the bottom of the pan.
