Ingredients

For the rice

1 lb of red rice
2½ cups of tomato paste
2 large onions
2 tbsp of sugar
1 tsp of crushed pepper (optional)

Instructions

Prepare the onions: Dice the onions and simmer in a large pot over medium heat for about 20 minutes, until they become translucent and fragrant.

🧅 This step builds a wonderful foundational flavor for the dish. Stir occasionally to prevent the onions from sticking to the pot.

Cook the rice: Prepare the red rice according to the package instructions until it's firm but tender.

💡 Red rice takes a bit longer to cook than white rice, typically around 30-40 minutes, so plan accordingly!

Combine ingredients: Add the tomato paste, cooked onions, sugar, and optional crushed pepper to the rice. Stir well to ensure everything is evenly mixed.
Steam the mixture: Cover the pot and let it steam on low heat for 15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.

🔥 Keep an eye on it to prevent burning; adding a little water can help if it starts to stick.

Add extra flavor: For an additional kick, consider incorporating your favorite seasonings or spices, like Cajun seasoning, to elevate the dish to the next level.

Tips & Variations

Savory add-ins: Mix in cooked vegetables like bell peppers or peas for extra nutrition and color. 🌈
Protein boost: Serve with grilled chicken, shrimp, or black beans for a more substantial meal.
Spice it up: If you love heat, increase the crushed pepper or add a splash of hot sauce to the mix! 🌶️
Meal prep: This dish stores well in the refrigerator for a few days, making it an excellent option for meal prep.

Serving Suggestions

Serve your red rice alongside grilled meats or as part of a spicy vegetarian feast. Garnish with fresh herbs like cilantro or parsley for a burst of freshness! Enjoy! 😋
