GREEN RICE WITH TOMATOES, EGGS, AND ALMONDS



Green Rice with Tomatoes, Eggs, and Almonds image

A batch of herby rice is a natural partner to peak-season tomatoes. But don't forget about this rice once those tomatoes are gone. Green rice works in any season-paired with roasted squash, crispy-skinned fish, or big pieces of fresh cheese, such as paneer.

RICE AND TOMATOES



Rice and Tomatoes image

Categories     Rice     Tomato     Side     Vegetarian     Quick & Easy     Low/No Sugar     Gourmet     Sugar Conscious     Vegan     Pescatarian     Dairy Free     Wheat/Gluten-Free     Peanut Free     Tree Nut Free     Soy Free     No Sugar Added     Kosher

Yield Serves 4

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 teaspoon salt
1 cup unconverted long-grain rice
1 onion, chopped fine
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
a 13-ounce can plum tomatoes, drained, reserving 1/4 cup juice, and chopped

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.

Tips:

  • Choose the right rice: Short-grain rice, such as Arborio or Carnaroli, is best for this dish as it absorbs the sauce well and holds its shape.
  • Use ripe, flavorful tomatoes: This will give the dish its best flavor. If you can, use fresh tomatoes. If using canned tomatoes, choose a good quality brand.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: This will prevent the rice from cooking evenly.
  • Cook the rice until it is al dente: This means that it should be slightly firm to the bite.
  • Add the tomatoes and cook until they are softened: This will help to release their flavor.
  • Season the dish to taste: This may include adding salt, pepper, garlic, onion, or other herbs and spices.
  • Serve the dish hot: This is when it is at its best.

Conclusion:

Rice with tomatoes is a simple but delicious dish that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. It is a great way to use up leftover rice, and it can also be made with fresh or canned tomatoes. With its vibrant color and tangy flavor, this dish is sure to please everyone at your table.
