TURMERIC RICE WITH TOMATOES



Turmeric Rice With Tomatoes image

There are a few foolproof ways of cooking perfect, fluffy long-grain rice, and this is one of them. The pot is covered with a lid and a tea towel for a short time, then set aside to let the rice finish cooking in the steam that has built up. The finished dish is deliciously rich and lemony and would go perfectly with some grilled fish or chicken. The bright yellow of the turmeric and the red pop of the cherry tomatoes mean that it's also a treat for the eyes.

Time 50m

Yield 4 to 6 side servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

5 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
10 cardamom pods, crushed (keep a few of the pods and all the seeds)
1 1/2 tablespoons fresh thyme leaves
5 tablespoons/75 milliliters olive oil, divided
1 lemon, yellow peel shaved into 5 wide strips, and fruit squeezed to get 2 tablespoons juice
1 teaspoon ground turmeric
1 pint/400 grams cherry tomatoes
Salt and black pepper
1 2/3 cups/300 grams basmati rice
2 cups/500 milliliters vegetable stock or water
1/4 cup/5 grams loosely packed parsley leaves, roughly chopped

Steps:

  • In a medium-size deep skillet with a tight-fitting lid, combine garlic, cardamom, thyme, 3 tablespoons oil and the lemon peel strips. Turn heat to medium-low and gently cook for 5 to 6 minutes, stirring often, until garlic just begins to soften and turn golden.
  • Add turmeric, tomatoes and 1 1/4 teaspoons salt and cook 3 to 4 minutes more, stirring occasionally, until the tomatoes begin to blister, taking care not to break them apart. Add rice, stock (or water) and a generous grind of pepper and gently stir to combine. Bring to a gentle simmer, then cover the pan with a clean tea towel and seal with the lid, securing the towel edges well over the lid so they don't catch fire.
  • Reduce heat to very low and let cook undisturbed 15 minutes. Remove from the heat, leaving the lid on, and let rest 5 minutes. Remove lid and towel and use a large fork to gently fluff rice and evenly disperse the tomatoes. Gently stir in lemon juice, remaining 2 tablespoons oil and parsley. Let rest 5 minutes more before serving.

BASIC STEAMED LONG-GRAIN RICE



Basic Steamed Long-Grain Rice image

Rice can be cooked many ways, but here's the technique that I find to be most reliable. Combine the rice with water, bring to a boil, reduce the heat, cover tightly and simmer over very low heat for 15 minutes. Once the water has evaporated from the pot, place a towel between the lid of the pot and the rice, and let it sit for ten minutes to absorb more moisture and steam. The amount of liquid you choose to use will affect the texture of your rice. A 2-to-1 ratio, liquid to rice, produces soft, tender rice. Chewier rice will result from using a 1-to-1 ratio, or from adding a bit more water. I usually go with a 2-to-1 ratio for cooking a long-grain rice like basmati. Traditionally, basmati rice first is soaked for 30 minutes to as long as two hours. The grains are brittle, but if they absorb a little water they are less likely to break while cooking. Still, I have to admit that there are many times that I don't soak my basmati rice - and I can't really tell the difference.

Time 50m

Yield 2 servings

Number Of Ingredients 3

1 cup basmati or long-grain rice
1 1/2 to 2 cups water
1/2 teaspoon salt (or to taste)

Steps:

  • Place the rice in a bowl in the sink, and rinse and drain several times with water, until the water runs clear. If using basmati rice, soak for 30 minutes. Drain over a bowl, and measure out 1 1/2 to 2 cups water.
  • Combine the water, rice and salt in a heavy 2- or 3-quart saucepan with a tight-fitting lid. Bring to a boil, reduce the heat to low and cover. Simmer 12 to 15 minutes, until all of the liquid has been absorbed.
  • Uncover the rice, and place a clean kitchen towel over the top of the pan (it should not be touching the rice). Replace the lid, and allow to sit for ten minutes undisturbed. Serve.

STEAMED MUSSELS WITH TOMATO HARISSA BROTH AND BLACK STICKY RICE



Steamed Mussels with Tomato Harissa Broth and Black Sticky Rice image

These are not your typical mussels served in run-of-the-mill white wine broth. The tomato harissa broth is an addictive elixir. Even though the mussels are served with rice, you will want to have plenty of crusty bread on hand to sop up the flavorful goodness.

Yield serves 4

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 cup black sticky rice
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
2 pounds mussels
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
3 garlic cloves, minced
1 1/2 cups dry white wine, such as Sauvignon Blanc
Tomato Harissa (page 243)
4 tablespoons (1/2 stick) unsalted butter
4 scallions, white and green parts, sliced diagonally
Cilantro leaves

Steps:

  • Put the rice in a small pot and add 1 1/2 cups cold water and the salt. Bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer until tender but still toothsome, 30 to 45 minutes. The cooking time for this rice varies; it's wise to check the instructions on the package.
  • Rinse the mussels under cold water while scrubbing with a vegetable brush. Remove any stringy mussel beards with your thumb and index finger as you wash them. Discard any mussels that are open or have broken shells.
  • Put a Dutch oven over medium heat and coat with the oil. Add the garlic and stir for 10 seconds. As soon as the garlic begins to brown, add the wine, mussels, and tomato harissa. Give everything a good toss. Cover the pot and crank up the heat to high. Steam the mussels for 5 minutes. Remove the cover, give the mussels a stir so all are in contact with the heat, and quickly put the lid back on. Steam for another 2 minutes. Stir in the butter to melt.
  • To serve, put about 1/2 cup rice in the center of each of 4 shallow bowls. Using tongs, fan the mussels around the rice and pour 1/2 cup of the broth over each portion. Garnish with the scallions and cilantro.
  • Black Sticky Rice
  • Also known as Thai black rice or purple sticky rice, this long-grain rice is a very attractive, deep purple color when cooked and has a sweet nutty flavor. Its firm texture and earthy taste mean it holds up well to assertive flavors. You can find it at Asian markets or online.

Tips:

  • Use the right type of rice: Long-grain rice is the best choice for this recipe, with basmati rice being a particularly good option.
  • Rinse the rice before cooking: This will help to remove any starch and impurities, resulting in fluffier rice.
  • Use a tight-fitting lid on the pot: This will help to keep the steam in and cook the rice evenly.
  • Don't stir the rice while it's cooking: Stirring can disrupt the cooking process and result in mushy rice.
  • Let the rice rest for a few minutes before serving: This will allow the rice to absorb all of the flavors and become even more fluffy.

Conclusion:

Steamed long-grain rice with tomato and garlic is a delicious and versatile dish that can be served as a main course or a side dish. It's packed with flavor and nutrients, and it's easy to make. With a few simple tips, you can make perfect steamed rice every time. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy meal, give this recipe a try. You won't be disappointed.
