BAKED RICE WITH SLOW-ROASTED TOMATOES AND GARLIC



Baked Rice With Slow-Roasted Tomatoes and Garlic image

Baking rice on a bed of tender vegetables has to be one of the most fail-safe ways to prepare it. Here tangy-sweet tomatoes, garlic and shallots are slowly roasted in olive oil with cinnamon and thyme, then baked with basmati rice until everything is fragrant and soft. Adapted from Yotam Ottolenghi's cookbook, "Ottolenghi Simple," it makes a spectacular side dish to pan-seared meats or fish, or can be the heart of a vegetarian meal with some crumbled feta and pine nuts sprinkled on top for serving.
