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 something something, making it a worthy dinner party dish.

Time 20m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 tablespoons olive oil
1 small yellow onion, finely chopped (about 1 cup)
1 small Indian green chile or Serrano chile, finely chopped
10 plum tomatoes (about 2 pounds), cut into 1/2-inch pieces, or 1 (28-ounce) can whole or diced tomatoes, strained
1 teaspoon kosher salt
3 cups cooked basmati rice (from about 1 cup dry rice)
1 cup shredded sharp white Cheddar cheese

Steps:

  • Adjust an oven rack to the highest position and heat the oven to 500 degrees.
  • In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat the oil over medium-high. When the oil begins to shimmer, add the onion and chile, spread them out in an even layer and cook, stirring occasionally, 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 wooden spoon to lightly crush them. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the tomatoes break down into a chunky sauce, 5 to 6 minutes. Add the salt and remove from heat.
  • Stir in the cooked rice and transfer to an 8-inch square (or similar size) baking dish. Sprinkle the grated cheese on top in an even layer.
  • Switch the oven to broil and place the baking dish on the oven rack closest to the broiler. Broil until the top bubbles and turns golden brown, about 3 minutes. Serve immediately.

BAKED RICE WITH CHEESE AND TOMATOES



Baked Rice With Cheese and Tomatoes image

From my favorite inherited cookbook, "Cook Like a Peasant, Eat Like a King. The cookbook is from the 70's and documents the travels of two California "foodies" traveling through Europe, eating dishes made by "peasant women" in small villages. This side dish recipe is from Switzerland. I picture it as a comforting side dish. I like the combo of the swiss cheese and parmesan (not one I'm used to seeing), highlighting the influences of neighboring Italy.

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.

Tips:

  • Choose the right type of rice. Medium-grain rice, such as Arborio or Carnaroli, is the best choice for this dish because it absorbs the flavors of the sauce well and holds its shape after cooking.
  • Cook the rice properly. Be sure to cook the rice according to the package directions. If you overcook the rice, it will become mushy and the dish will not be as enjoyable.
  • Use fresh, flavorful ingredients. The better the quality of your ingredients, the better the dish will taste. Use fresh tomatoes, basil, and Parmesan cheese for the best results.
  • Don't be afraid to experiment. There are many ways to make this dish your own. Try adding different vegetables, meats, or cheeses. You can also adjust the amount of spice to suit your taste.

Conclusion:

Cheesy rice and tomatoes is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste. So next time you are looking for a quick and easy meal, give cheesy rice and tomatoes a try.
