Serves 4 as a side, or 2 as a main
Ingredients
1 cup red rice
4 regular tomatoes
1/2 onion
1/2 red chilli
1 clove garlic
1tsp dried oregano
Handful fresh basil leaves
Salt and pepper, to taste
Method
1. Firstly, fill a pan with water and bring to a boil. Add the rice, and begin to cook for about 25 minutes.
2. In the meantime, add the remaining ingredients to a blender and blend until smooth. Set aside.
3. When the rice still has some bite, but is cooked, drain and add to a frying pan. Pour the tomato sauce on top. Stir all together and move onto a high heat. Stir continuously until all of the excess liquid has dissolved and formed a risotto like texture. Divide onto plates and serve!
