Ingredients
- ✓480 ml long-grain basmati or jasmine rice
- ✓60 ml sunflower or avocado oil
- ✓1 whole roasted red bell pepper, seeds removed
- ✓3 whole roma tomatoes
- ✓1 whole shallot, peeled
- ✓1 whole serrano pepper, halved
- ✓600 ml vegetable or chicken stock
- ✓3 cloves garlic cloves, smashed
- ✓1.5 teaspoons kosher salt
- ✓0.5 teaspoon smoked paprika
- ✓60 ml fresh Italian parsley, chopped
Instructions
1
Combine the tomatoes, roasted red pepper, shallot, and garlic in a high-speed blender; process until perfectly uniform and smooth.
💡
Tip:The smoothness of this puree is key to ensuring the rice grains coat evenly rather than clumping.
2
In a heavy-bottomed brazier or wide skillet, heat the oil over medium-high heat until shimmering.
💡
Tip:Test the heat by dropping in a single grain; if it sizzles instantly, you are ready to proceed.
3
Add the raw rice to the oil and sauté, stirring constantly, until the grains turn a pale, toasted gold color and become translucent at the edges.
💡
Tip:This browning stage is the foundation for the dish's signature texture and nutty aroma.
4
Pour the vegetable puree into the skillet, stirring for one minute to cook off the raw scent, then add the stock, salt, paprika, and the serrano pepper.
💡
Tip:Using warm stock will help maintain a consistent cooking temperature for the rice.
5
Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, cover with a tight-fitting lid, and lower the heat to the absolute minimum setting. Cook for 20 minutes, then remove from heat and let rest, covered, for another 10 minutes.
💡
Tip:Refrain from lifting the lid during the resting phase to allow the steam to finish the grains uniformly.
6
Remove the serrano pepper, fluff the rice gently with a fork, and fold in the fresh parsley before serving.
💡
Tip:Serve with fresh lemon wedges to brighten the earthiness of the roasted vegetables.
