Ingredients

  • 300 g (1.6 cups) long grain rice
  • 120 g (4.2 oz) red onion
  • 50 g (3 ½ tbsp) olive oil
  • 1 tsp sea salt flakes plus extra to serve (optional)
  • 2 tsp ground cumin
  • 80 g (5 tbsp) tomato paste
  • 600 g (2 ½ cups) liquid chicken stock (see Felly Bull Tips within Notes below)
  • 400 g (1 ¾ cups) water
  • 1 tsp ground pepper
  • 6 sprigs fresh coriander leaves only, to garnish

Instructions

  • Place the rice into the mixing bowl and toast for 10 minutes/120C/reverse/speed 1, without measuring cup. Transfer the rice into a bowl and set aside. Rinse the mixing bowl.
  • Place the onion into the mixing bowl and chop for 3 seconds/speed 6. Scrape down the sides of the mixing bowl with the spatula.
  • Add the oil, salt, cumin and tomato paste and sauté for 5 minutes/100C/speed 1.
  • Add the chicken stock and water. Insert the simmering basket and add the reserved toasted rice and mix for 5 seconds/speed 5, then cook for 10 minutes/100C/speed 4.
  • Stir the rice with the aid of the spatula, then cook for 10 minutes/100C/speed 4.
  • Remove the simmering basket with the aid of the spatula and transfer the rice into a thermal serving bowl or other large bowl.
  • Pour 3 tbsp of the tomato stock mixture over the rice to moisten (see Cookidoo Tip within Notes below). Season with salt (if needed, to taste) and the pepper and stir through using the spatula. Cover and set aside for a minimum of 15 minutes.
  • Garnish with coriander leaves before serving.
