Charleston Red Rice image

This classic Red Rice is a Lowcountry side dish of long grain white rice that's baked with bacon, onion, garlic and tomato!

Provided by Blair Lonergan

Categories     Side Dish

Time 1h20m

Number Of Ingredients 11

3 strips bacon, chopped
¼ cup salted butter
1 onion, finely diced
1 clove garlic, minced
1 (6 ounce) can tomato paste
1 ½ teaspoons kosher salt
1 ½ teaspoons sugar
Freshly-ground black pepper, to taste
2 cups water
1 cup uncooked long-grain white rice
Garnish: chopped fresh parsley

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350° F. Grease a 2-quart baking dish; set aside.
  • In a large skillet, cook bacon over medium heat until crisp, about 7-8 minutes. Use a slotted spoon to remove bacon to a paper towel-lined plate, reserving the drippings in the pan. Melt butter in the same skillet over medium-high heat. Add onion and cook, stirring, until the onion softens, 3 to 4 minutes. Add the garlic and cook, stirring constantly, until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Stir in the tomato paste, kosher salt, sugar and pepper. Cook for 1 more minute.
  • Add the bacon, water and rice. Bring to a simmer, then reduce the heat to low. Cook, uncovered, stirring occasionally, until the liquid has reduced slightly, about 8-10 minutes. Use a wooden spoon to scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet as you stir.
  • Transfer to the prepared baking dish. Cover and bake until the rice is tender, about 40-45 minutes, stirring every 15 minutes.
  • Fluff the rice, garnish with fresh parsley, and serve.
