My DH found this recipe in a Paul Prudhomme book and has adjusted it to our preferences. Great side for just about anything (especially grilled foods) with a light flavor - which doesn't end up competing with your other dishes.

SIMPLE BAKED RICE



Simple Baked Rice image

Rice infused with garlic and onion baked in chicken stock. A wonderfully simple dish even picky eaters will enjoy. I use homemade stock as it's the most flavorful, but use whatever you have on hand. Another option is adding whatever leftover veggies or meat I have to make a simple casserole without a heavy cream sauce. This recipe uses a rice-to-liquid ratio of 2:1 for long-grain rice.

It all depends on what your main dish flavor is and your preference. Cooking times can vary - we find 70 minutes works perfectly for us.

BAKED RICE



Baked Rice image

This recipe, from the chef Yotam Ottolenghi, is richly spiced and flavorful, a dish that would pair with almost any grilled or roasted meat. Try it sometime with a Sunday roast chicken and a pile of greens, a comforting spread as the weekend slides away.

Categories     side dish

Time 1h15m

Yield Serves 6 to 8

Number Of Ingredients 8

1/3 cup extra-virgin olive oil
2 heads garlic, cloves peeled
12-14 medium-size shallots, peeled and quartered lengthwise
Zest of 1 lemon
2 whole sprigs fresh curry leaves, left on stem, or substitute a handful of dry curry leaves
2 cups basmati rice
2 teaspoons kosher salt, or to taste
1/2 teaspoon saffron threads, soaked in 2 tablespoons boiling water for 30 minutes

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 425. Put the oil into a sauté pan set over medium heat. When the oil shimmers, add the garlic cloves, shallots and lemon zest, and cook, tossing occasionally, for about 15 minutes, until the garlic is golden brown and soft. Add the sprigs of curry leaves, and cook for approximately 2 minutes more, or until the leaves are starting to crisp.
  • Pour the garlic and shallots into a large ovenproof baking dish, approximately 10 by 14 inches, and spread the rice over the vegetables in an even layer. Sprinkle 2 teaspoons of salt over the rice, and then pour 3 1/2 cups of boiling water over the rice. Cover the dish tightly with aluminum foil, and place in the oven for 30 minutes or so, until all the water has been absorbed and the rice is light, fluffy and starting to turn crisp around the edges.
  • Remove the dish from the oven, uncover and drizzle the saffron and its soaking water over the dish. Re-cover the dish with aluminum foil, and allow it to sit on the stovetop for another 5 or 10 minutes, then serve.

BAKED RICE WITH SLOW-ROASTED TOMATOES AND GARLIC



Baked Rice With Slow-Roasted Tomatoes and Garlic image

Baking rice on a bed of tender vegetables has to be one of the most fail-safe ways to prepare it. Here tangy-sweet tomatoes, garlic and shallots are slowly roasted in olive oil with cinnamon and thyme, then baked with basmati rice until everything is fragrant and soft. Adapted from Yotam Ottolenghi's cookbook, "Ottolenghi Simple," it makes a spectacular side dish to pan-seared meats or fish, or can be the heart of a vegetarian meal with some crumbled feta and pine nuts sprinkled on top for serving.

Time 1h45m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 3/4 pounds cherry tomatoes
12 large garlic cloves
4 large shallots, cut into 1 1/4-inch pieces
1 1/4 cup cilantro stems, cut into 1 1/2-inch pieces
3 tablespoons fresh thyme leaves
4 small cinnamon sticks
1 teaspoon fine sea salt, more as needed

Tips:

  • Use the best quality ingredients you can find. Fresh, flavorful ingredients will make a big difference in the final dish.
  • Don't be afraid to experiment with different types of rice. There are many different varieties of rice available, each with its own unique flavor and texture. Try a few different types to see what you like best.
  • Be careful not to overcook the rice. Overcooked rice will be mushy and bland. Cook the rice according to the package directions, or until it is tender but still has a slight bite to it.
  • Season the rice well. Rice can be bland on its own, so it's important to season it well. Use salt, pepper, and other herbs and spices to taste.
  • Add some vegetables or other ingredients to the rice for a more flavorful dish. Vegetables like carrots, celery, and onions are all good choices. You can also add cooked meat, seafood, or beans.

Conclusion:

Baked rice is a simple but delicious dish that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. It's a versatile dish that can be served as a main course or a side dish. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can create a delicious baked rice dish that your family and friends will love.
