Spanish Rice Pilaf

This is the ultimate evolution of my rice pilaf. I had some extra tomato paste around that needed using. Let’s face it, practically no one uses the entire can at once! This easy dish pairs well with chicken.

Step: 1

Mix chicken stock, brown rice, orzo, and margarine in a saucepan using a fork. Bring to a boil. Mix with a fork again and reduce heat to low. Cover and simmer until stock is absorbed, about 20 minutes. Mix in tomato paste and adobo seasoning until rice is a consistent reddish color.

The most obvious way to choose a side dish is to look at your main dish (pasta, chicken, seared tofu) and choose more different. If you’re making pasta, make sure for a simple vegetable . Making steak? Go for something light. If you’re want to cooking stir-fry with rice, it must not a good idea to also make a rice salad.

This also can make to cooking process . You don’t want to push more often your oven by making to do list three dishes at once in there, or be rounding four pans on the stovetop . But sometimes you can made a dish do double-duty .
