This is a typical Spanish
dish that is made with a base of rice and vegetables.
Ingredients:
· Rice.
· Olive oil (extra virgin olive if possible, as
it is the best).
· Garlic.
· Tomato.
· Green pepper.
· Red pepper.
· Artichokes (wherever they are cultivated in).
· Cauliflower.
· Green beans.
· Courgette.
· Aubergine.
· Peas.
· Mild paprika in the form of a spice.
Method
1. Four tablespoons of
oil (more or less) are put in a pan where the chopped vegetables are then added
to make a sauté.
2. Half a teaspoon of
mild paprika is added to the sauté.
3. The rice is now
added (approximately half a kilo for four people) the vegetables are also
sautéed, and once this is completed, over half of the amount of rice is added
in water (approximately one litre and a bit).
4. Everything is mixed
together slowly once in a while so that the rice does not stick to the bottom
of the pan; a pinch of salt is also added.
5. When all the water
has been absorbed and the rice is fully cooked, the pan is taken off the heat
and left to rest with tablecloth on top for a period of two to three minutes.
Health Benefits
The properties of this
dish are excellent due to the large quantity of antioxidants, vitamins, omega
acids, fibre and minerals that it contains aiding in the prevention of
cardiovascular and degenerative diseases, cancer and aging.
Any type of vegetable
that is available and in season can be used in this recipe as rice absorbs all
flavours, and in turn goes well with whichever vegetable that is cooked with.
Enjoy it!!
