Time 2h

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 17

2 cups peeled seeded chopped tomatoes, with their juices (or substitute canned, reserving the liquid)
1/4 lb bacon, cut into 1/2 inch wide strips
1 large onion, cut into 1/4-inch dice
1 large red bell pepper, cut into 1/4-inch dice
2 celery ribs, finely diced
extra virgin olive oil
2 jalapeno peppers, seeded and diced
1 poblano peppers or 1 yellow bell pepper, seeded and diced
2 bay leaves
4 fresh thyme sprigs
kosher salt
fresh ground black pepper
1 3/4 cups chicken broth (or canned low sodium broth, or a combination of half chicken, half shrimp broth or bottle clam juice)
1 cup basmati rice
4 scallions, thinly sliced
1 small bunch basil or 1 small cilantro, leaves removed
1/2 lemon

Steps:

  • If using fresh tomatoes, drain them in a sieve or colander set over a bowl to catch their juices; set juices aside.
  • In a large Dutch oven, cook the bacon over medium heat until it is beginning to crisp; with a slotted spoon, transfer the bacon to paper towels to drain.
  • Return Dutch oven of drippings to the stove; add the onion, bell pepper, and celery; saute until softened, about 10 minutes (add a little oil if the bacon fat seems insufficient).
  • Add the jalapeno, poblano, tomatoes, bay leaves, and thyme to the pot; season with salt and pepper to taste; simmer for about 10 minutes, until the peppers have softened.
  • Meanwhile, in a medium saucepan, combine the broth with a scant 1/4 cup of the reserved tomato juices (discard any remaining juice) and add salt to taste.
  • Bring to a simmer; add the rice, return to a simmer, and stir a few times.
  • Decrease heat to the lowest setting, cover, and cook until the rice is tender, about 16 minutes.
  • Add the rice to the vegetable mixture, along with the bacon; taste for seasonings.
  • Stir in the scallions, basil, and a big squeeze of lemon; serve immediately.

I'm not a fan of bell peppers, so I omitted them from the recipe. It still turned out great!

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover chicken or shrimp. I always have some leftover protein in my fridge, so this is a great way to use it up.

I'm not sure if I did something wrong, but my rice turned out really dry. I'm going to try making it again and see if I can get it right.

This recipe is a bit too bland for my taste. I added some extra spices and it turned out much better.

I'm allergic to shrimp, so I used chicken instead. It was still really good!

This recipe is a bit too spicy for my taste, but it's still really good. I'll definitely make it again, but I'll use less cayenne pepper next time.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my rice turned out mushy. I followed the recipe exactly, so I'm not sure what happened.
