Ingredients:
Long Grain Rice (I use uncle Ben's because like it says on the box 'it is perfect every time'!!)
Onions
Peppers
Mushrooms
Garlic
Cut up all veg either in partial strips or diced. Fry over starting with onions, then adding peppers and then mushrooms and garlic.
Once all the mushrooms have gone soft, turn off flame.
Meanwhile, cook the rice. The way I cook rice is as follows:
Measure how much rice you need (1 cup is plenty for 2 people) and put into an oven proof dish. Sprinkle with salt. Add double the amount of boiling hot water to that of rice.
Cover and bake on 200 for 20 minutes.
To check if rice is cooked, all the water should be absorbed and there will be holes in the rice like this:
Once rice is cooked, mix with the fried veg. Season with salt and pepper.
Et Voila!
Looks delicious! Any spice suggestions?
ReplyDeleteHow come you make rice in the oven and not in a pan? any particular reason?
ReplyDeleteFraidy - thx for pointing out - have just added S & P.
ReplyDeleteShternie - I do it in the oven because you do not have to watch over it and keep on stirring and then you forget to check it and it runs out of water and then it sticks to pan. This way I get perfect rice every time...
(also, I mix the veg into the rice in the rice dish and then if you are not serving straight away can put in the oven to keep hot or shabbos on the hot plate and without dirtying another pot)
