Tomato Rice

One of the easiest, fastest but truly scrumptious rice dishes close to my heart is tomato rice. Perfect with grilled chicken, hot sauce, salad or eaten solo its pretty addictive but so worth it. Kids also love this dish for its vibrant color and simple taste. 

If anyone does make this dish, please let me know what their thoughts were and its one of my top loves.




Recipe:

2 cups rice
4 cups water
5 tablespoons thick tomato paste
3 tablespoons butter
3 tablespoons cooking oil
Pinch of saffron
Salt

Method:

Wash rice and set aside. In a frying pan heat the oil, butter and stir in the tomato paste and salt and stir for 3-5 minutes. In a pot add the rice and tomato paste, pinch of saffron and cook on medium heat for 20 minutes stirring very lightly, turn the heat to very low and cook for another 10 minutes. Serve with anything your heart desires.
