How to prepare RED RICE?
Today we're going to cook and enjoy a delicious RED RICE.
INGREDIENTS
1 cup of rice (200g)
1-2 tablespoons of vegetable oil
1/4 of a small onion
1 clove of garlic
2 red Roma tomatoes
1 piece of red bell pepper (optional)
1/2 teaspoon of ground cumin
1 teaspoon of salt
Water as needed
1/2 cup of thawed peas for garnish (optional)
PREPARATION
Wash the rice to remove the starch and drain it.
In a skillet over medium heat, add the vegetable oil and the rice, stirring constantly until the rice turns a light golden color.
In a blender, add the onion, garlic, tomatoes, bell pepper, cumin, and salt. Add a little water and blend until very smooth. Add enough water to make 2 cups of liquid. Strain this mixture and add it to the rice. Add salt.
Cover the pan and reduce the heat to low. Let it cook for approximately 15 minutes, or until the liquid is absorbed. Check if the rice is cooked and, if necessary, add another 1/2 cup of water to finish cooking.
Serve on a platter and garnish with the peas.
NOTE: The peas are not added during the rice cooking process so they don't lose their bright green color. Frozen peas are already precooked and ready to eat; there's no need to cook them further.
