Arroz De Tomate

This is another quick and tasty recipe shared by my Portuguese cleaner Olinda.

Both kids and the adults enjoyed it.


Ingredients:

1 cup long grain white rice
2 tbsp virgin olive oil
1/2 finely chopped Spanish onion
1-2 slices of chopped bacon/ham (optional)
1-2 cloves of garlic, chopped finely
2 large vine tomatoes, chopped
1 1/2 cup chicken or vegetable stock
Salt and freshly crushed pepper for seasoning

Method:

1. In a pot, heat the oil and fry the bacon/ham.

2. Add the onions and garlic, stir and cook until onions are translucent




3. Add in the tomatoes and cook until really soft. Mix in the stock.

4. Once its boiling , stir in the rice and season.

5. Cover and then cook on a gentle simmer until rice is cooked and the liquid is absorbed.

I mixed in a handful of dried herbs just for additional flavour.

Instead of tomatoes you could use 2-3 spoons of tomato passata, it should give it the rich tomato flavour this rice needs.
