Instructions
- Cook the rice according to the packet's instructions. Drain well. In the meantime, prepare the rest of the dish. 9 oz long-grain white rice/ 250 g
- Saute: Chop the onions. Heat the oil in a large saucepan. Cook the onion until translucent, about 3-4 minutes. Finely chop the garlic and the leeks, add to the pot, and cook for another 2-3 minutes, stirring often.1 onion + 2 tablespoons olive oil + 2 garlic cloves + 1 piece of leek
- Chop the peppers and the tomatoes. Add them to the pan and cook for another 2-3 minutes.1 bell pepper + 2-3 tomatoes
- Make BBQ sauce: In a small bowl mix together all the ingredients for the BBQ sauce except the water.3 tablespoons tomato paste + 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar + 4 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce + 2 tablespoons runny honey + 1 teaspoon mustard + ½ teaspoon hot smoked paprika + ½ teaspoon red chili flakes + ½ teaspoon turmeric + 1 teaspoon ground coriander + 1 teaspoon ground cumin + fine sea salt and black pepper
- Add the sauce to the pan, stir in ¼ cup water, cover the pan, and simmer for about 5 minutes, stirring a few times in between.
- Check the pan. If the sauce seems dry, add the remaining ¼ cup water and stir well. Continue cooking for another 5 minutes or until the vegetables are soft and the sauce has thickened nicely without becoming dry.
- Add the drained rice, stir well. Adjust the taste with salt, pepper, and, if necessary, with a pinch of sugar and/or more vinegar.fine sea salt and black pepper
- Garnish with chopped tomatoes, green onions, parsley, or chives, if desired.1 small tomato + 2 teaspoons greens + chives
Notes
- Rice type: You can also use brown rice, but remember that it has a longer cooking time.
- Size of the leek: The piece of leek should be rather thick and about as long as your palm. You can use 2-3 green onions, depending on size, instead.
- Keep about 2 teaspoons of the finely chopped greens for the garnish, if desired.
