BAKED RICE WITH SLOW-ROASTED TOMATOES AND GARLIC
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.

Tips:
- Use ripe tomatoes: The riper the tomatoes, the sweeter and more flavorful the rice will be.
- Choose the right rice: Short-grain rice, such as arborio or carnaroli, is best for risotto because it absorbs the liquid and becomes creamy.
- Toast the rice: Toasting the rice before cooking it helps to bring out its flavor and prevent it from becoming mushy.
- Use a good-quality broth: The broth is the base of the risotto, so it's important to use a good-quality broth that has a lot of flavor.
- Cook the risotto slowly: Risotto takes time to cook, so be patient and stir it often.
- Add the cheese at the end: Adding the cheese at the end of the cooking process helps to prevent it from becoming grainy.
Conclusion:
Baked tomato rice is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. It is also a great way to use up leftover rice. With its simple ingredients and flavorful taste, this dish is sure to become a family favorite.
