Rice And Tomatoes Recipes

Steps:

• In a large saucepan over medium heat, soften the onion and garlic in the oil.
• Add the rice and stir to coat the grains with oil.
• Add the broth and tomatoes.
• Season with salt and pepper.
• Bring to a boil, lower the heat, cover and simmer until cooked about 25 minutes.

Steps:

• Slice tomatoes and cut into small dice. There should be about a cup.
• Heat one tablespoon of butter in saucepan and add onion and garlic. Cook, stirring, until wilted. Add tomato and stir.
• Add rice and stir. Add water, bay leaf, salt and pepper. Bring to a boil and cover closely. Let simmer 17 minutes. Remove bay leaf and stir the rice. Stir in remaining tablespoon butter and serve.

Steps:

• For the rice: Soak the rice in 4 cups of cold water for 30 minutes.
• For the chicken: Meanwhile, in a large skillet, heat the oil over medium-high heat. Arrange the chicken on a baking sheet in a single layer. Season all sides of the chicken with salt. When the oil begins to smoke lightly, use a pair of metal tongs to carefully add the pieces, skin-side down, to the oil. Do not crowd the skillet. Lower the heat to medium and cook until the skin is browned, 5 to 8 minutes. Flip the chicken and brown the other side, another 5 to 8 minutes. Transfer the chicken pieces to a clean baking sheet and set aside.
• In the same skillet, add the garlic and onions. Add the red pepper flakes and some salt and cook, stirring frequently, until the garlic and onions turn light brown, 5 to 8 minutes. Add the coconut milk, tomatoes and bay leaves and bring to a simmer. Arrange the chicken pieces skin-side up in a single layer in the sauce. Pour any juices into the sauce as well. Lower the heat and simmer until the chicken is cooked through, 30 to 35 minutes. Discard the bay leaves. Taste for seasoning. Keep warm.
• To cook the rice: While the chicken is cooking, heat the oven to 250 degrees F.
• On a baking sheet, combine the cumin, fennel, cayenne and cinnamon stick. Lightly toast the spices in the oven, 1 to 2 minutes. Set aside.
• Heat a large Dutch oven over medium heat and add the butter and onion. Season with salt and cook until the onion is translucent but not browned, 5 to 8 minutes. Stir in the spices. Drain the rice, reserving the soaking water. Stir in the rice and cook until you hear it crackling, 1 to 2 minutes. Gently stir in the reserved water. Season with salt and bring to a simmer over medium heat. Cover and cook until the water has been absorbed and the rice is fluffy, about 15 minutes. Remove from the heat and allow the rice to rest for 5 to 10 minutes before "forking" it gently onto plates. Spoon the chicken and sauce over the rice and serve.

Steps:

• In a large saucepan bring 4 quarts water to a boil with the salt. Sprinkle in the rice, stirring until the water returns to a boil, and boil it for 10 minutes. Drain the rice in a colander and rinse it. Set the colander over a large saucepan of boiling water and steam the rice, covered with a kitchen towel and the lid, for 15 minutes, or until it is fluffy and dry. The rice may be made 1 day in advance and kept covered and chilled. Reheat the rice in a steamer over boiling water. In a saucepan cook the onion in the oil over moderately low heat, stirring occasionally, until it is softened, add the tomatoes with the reserved juice, and cook the mixture, stirring occasionally, for 3 minutes. In a bowl combine well the rice, the tomato mixture, and salt and pepper to taste.

Steps:

• Bring 2 1/4 cups water to a boil and add the rice and 1 teaspoon of the salt. Return to a boil, cover, and simmer for 30 to 40 minutes, until the rice is tender and all the water is absorbed. Transfer the rice to a bowl.
• Whisk together the vinegar, sugar, olive oil, remaining teaspoon of salt, and a pinch of pepper. Pour over the rice. Add the tomatoes and basil. Mix well and check the seasonings. Serve at room temperature.

Steps:

• Heat 1/4 cup vegetable oil in a large saucepan over high heat. Add 2 cups white rice; toast 3 minutes. Puree 1 chopped cored large tomato, 1/2 chopped small white onion, 1 garlic clove and 1 teaspoon kosher salt in a blender. Add to the rice and cook, stirring, until almost dry, about 5 minutes. Stir in 3 cups chicken broth and 2 tablespoons chopped cilantro; bring to a boil. Reduce the heat, cover and simmer until the liquid is absorbed, 20 minutes. Let sit, covered, 10 minutes. Fluff the rice with a fork, season with salt and pepper and top with more cilantro.

Steps:

• I like to make an unfussy rice and tomato soup (for myself, too, sometimes, especially when I'm trying to balance out my characteristic gluttony) by diluting a good, bought tomato sauce with water, adding a handful or so of basmati rice, and cooking until the rice is tender, about 8 to 10 minutes. With children it makes more sense to leave the soup fairly solid, but you can add water from a boiled kettle toward the end of cooking time if you want a thinner soup rather than liquid tomato-rice stew. Grate Parmesan on top and eat - with bibs.

Steps:

• Heat dressing in large saucepan on medium-high heat. Add 1/2 cup onions; cook and stir 3 min. or until onions are crisp-tender. Add broth, tomatoes and half the cilantro; stir. Bring to boil; cover. Simmer on medium-low heat 5 min.
• Meanwhile, mix remaining onions with meat, cracker crumbs, sour cream and egg. Shape into 18 meatballs.
• Add to simmering broth. Return to boil, uncovered, on medium-high heat, stirring occasionally. Stir in rice; cover. Simmer on medium-low heat 18 min. or until meatballs are done and rice is tender. Stir in remaining cilantro just before serving.

Steps:

• Put rice into a medium bowl, cover with water, and swish around with your hand until water clouds. Drain and repeat process until water remains clear, 3-4 more times. Drain again, return rice to bowl, and set aside.
• Put tomatoes, onions, and garlic into a food processor and process to a fine puree. Transfer to a medium bowl and set aside.
• Heat oil in a 3 1/2-quart caldero or medium heavy-bottomed pot with a tight-fitting lid over medium-high heat. Add rice and cook, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon, until lightly golden, 5-7 minutes. Add tomato-onion puree and cook, stirring often, until the mixture becomes bright orange, about 3 minutes. Stir in stock and season to taste with salt.
• Bring to boil and cook, undisturbed, until liquid barely covers rice and craters appear on the surface, 8-10 minutes. Reduce heat to low, cover, and steam until rice is tender 18-20 minutes more. Remove pot from heat. Set aside to let cool, undisturbed, for 10 minutes, then fluff with a fork.

Steps:

• Drain Tomatoes and mix with rice.
• Add Cumin to taste and mix well.
• Nuke in microwave until all ingredients are at serving temperature.

Steps:

• Adjust an oven rack to the highest position and preheat the oven to 500 degrees F.
• In a large pan over medium-high heat, warm the oil. Once the oil begins to shimmer, add the onion and chile, spread them out in an even layer in the pan, and cook until the onion becomes translucent and starts to lightly char, 5 to 7 minutes.
• Increase the heat to high and add the tomatoes, using the back of a spoon to lightly crush them. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the tomatoes break down into a chunky sauce, 5 to 6 minutes, then add the salt.
• Put the cooked rice in an 8-inch square (or similar size) baking dish, then fold in the tomato sauce. (You can also do the folding in a separate bowl and then transfer the rice to the baking dish, if you doubt your ability to not spill rice and sauce everywhere.) Evenly distribute the grated cheese over the top.
• Switch the oven to broil and place the baking dish on the top oven rack. Broil for about 3 minutes, until the top bubbles and turns golden brown. Serve immediately.

Steps:

• Open the tomatoes and strain the juice into a measuring cup. I usually get one cup of juice from two cans.
• In a 3-qt sauce pan partially melt the butter and add the rice. Mix the rice with the butter and saute 3-4 minutes on medium heat, stirring every 45 seconds or so.
• Add the reserved juice from the tomatoes and enough water to equal a total of 3 1/3 cups of liquid (the amount of water is from an Uncle Ben's package, so please check the cooking directions on your rice and adjust accordingly).
• Using medium-high heat add the oil and onions to your favorite skillet, cooking until translucent.
• Add the garlic, tomatoes, and chicken. Sprinkle on the curry powder and add 1/4-1/2 cup of water to the skillet. Cover and cook on medium-low heat for approx 8-10 minutes, stirring frequently to coat the chicken with the liquid.
• Remove the lid from the chicken and allow sauce to reduce as it simmers.
• When rice has about 3-4 minutes of cook time left add it to the skillet and stir all ingredients together. I like to add a little more curry powder and red pepper flakes at this stage also.
• When the rice is at your desired texture the dish is ready to serve.

Steps:

• In a frying pan with a tight fitting lid, sauté onion and garlic 2 minutes in vegetable oil.
• Add rice, tomato and spices, stir.
• Add chicken stock. Cover and simmer on low heat for about 20 minutes or until liquid is gone and rice is tender.

Steps:

• In a saucepan, bring the stock to a boil.
• Stir in the rice, butter, salt, onion and broccoli.
• Reduce the heat to medium and cook until the stock is absorbed, about 20 minutes.
• Stir in the tomatoes and pepper to taste.

Steps:

• Place the rice in a pan with the stock and passata. Bring to the boil, cover and simmer for 10-12 mins. Take off the heat, stir in the cumin and chilli powder, then cover and rest for 5 mins more. Fluff with a fork and serve scattered with parsley.

Steps:

• Heat dressing in small saucepan on medium heat. Add onions; cook and stir 3 min. or until tender.
• Stir in rice, broth and tomatoes. Bring to boil. Reduce heat to low; simmer 3 min.
• Add cheeses and parsley; stir until blended. Remove from heat. Let stand, covered, 5 min. before serving.

Steps:

• Mix all ingredients together and put into a buttered casserole dish with a tight fitting lid.
• Bake at 180 C 1 to 1 1/4 hours, stirring after 30 minutes.
• This can be all mixed together and left to stand until you are ready to cook it.
• If fresh tomatoes are not available or convenient use canned, replace some to the water with the juice from the can. (I think it has a better flavour using canned).
