SPANISH RICE WITH TOMATOES AND CHEESE



Spanish Rice With Tomatoes and Cheese image

If you want to encourage your family to eat healthy brown rice - this is one way of tempting them! The colour of the rice isn't as noticeable due to the tomatoes; and I always found that even the fussiest of children would try most things if they included a little cheese. Nutty brown rice and cheese are perfect partners (plus anything else you have to hand: peas, sweetcorn etc) and ingredients I often put together when my boys were growing. Having never thought about recording the quantities however, I was pleased to see a recipe with all the same basic ingredients I use on the netcooks website.

SPANISH RICE WITH GROUND BEEF



Spanish Rice with Ground Beef image

Growing up, my mom made a version of Spanish rice with ground beef that was hearty enough that it stood on its own as a main dish. During a visit a few years ago, after missing her cooking desperately, I watched her prepare it and jotted down the recipe. (Don't worry, I checked with my mom and she's totally on board with sharing with you!) Serve on a bed of fresh spinach with a side of refried beans. Garnish with fresh diced tomatoes, green onions, cheese, avocado slices, and crushed chile flakes.

TOMATO RICE WITH CRISPY CHEDDAR



Tomato Rice with Crispy Cheddar image

I could use all sorts of fancy words to explain this dish, but the best description is this: pizza in rice form. The inspiration for the recipe, though, is oddly enough not Italian -- it's a hybrid of a classic South Indian tomato rice with onions and a shockingly fantastic Spanish rice recipe my mom and I photocopied out of my seventh-grade Spanish textbook for a school project. The crispy, bubbly, broiled cheddar topping (use the sharpest white cheddar you can find!) adds a little somethin' somethin', making it a worthy dinner party dish. Mackenzie Kelley, the lovely photographer of my cookbook "Indian-ish," called it "even better than pizza" (!!!!).

Time 25m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 tablespoons olive oil
1 small yellow onion, finely chopped
1 small Indian green chile or serrano chile, finely chopped
10 medium Roma tomatoes, diced into 1/2-inch pieces
1 teaspoon kosher salt
3 cups cooked basmati rice
1 cup shredded sharp white cheddar cheese

Steps:

  • Adjust an oven rack to the highest position and preheat the oven to 500 degrees F.
  • In a large pan over medium-high heat, warm the oil. Once the oil begins to shimmer, add the onion and chile, spread them out in an even layer in the pan, and cook until the onion becomes translucent and starts to lightly char, 5 to 7 minutes.
  • Increase the heat to high and add the tomatoes, using the back of a spoon to lightly crush them. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the tomatoes break down into a chunky sauce, 5 to 6 minutes, then add the salt.
  • Put the cooked rice in an 8-inch square (or similar size) baking dish, then fold in the tomato sauce. (You can also do the folding in a separate bowl and then transfer the rice to the baking dish, if you doubt your ability to not spill rice and sauce everywhere.) Evenly distribute the grated cheese over the top.
  • Switch the oven to broil and place the baking dish on the top oven rack. Broil for about 3 minutes, until the top bubbles and turns golden brown. Serve immediately.
