Best 5 Curried Rice And Tomato Casserole Recipes

TOMATO RICE WITH CRISPY CHEDDAR

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.

TOMATO, RICE, AND CHICKEN THIGH CASSEROLE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Trim excess fat from thighs. Wash and pat dry. Season moderately with pepper.
• Heat 2 tablespoons butter and olive oil in a large Dutch oven over medium heat. Add chicken thighs and cook until well browned, 3 to 5 minutes per side. Pour sherry over top. Remove chicken to a plate. Drain excess fat, leaving about 2 tablespoons drippings in the skillet.
• Add onion and bell pepper to the skillet and saute over medium heat until onions are translucent and peppers have softened, about 5 minutes. Add garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add rice and saute for 2 minutes. Add chicken stock, bay leaf, salt, pepper, and saffron; bring to a boil.
• Remove from the heat and lay chicken thighs in a single layer over the rice mixture.
• Bake, covered tightly, in the preheated oven for 45 minutes.
• When the casserole has about 5 minutes left, melt remaining tablespoon butter in a skillet. Add tomato slices and saute until heated through.
• Place a tomato slice on top of each chicken thigh, then sprinkle Parmesan cheese over top. Return to the oven and bake, uncovered, until chicken juices run clear, about 15 more minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
• Let rest for at least 15 minutes before serving.
