How to make
The first step in preparing the rice with vegetables is processing the vegetables - wash, clean and cut them. The peppers and zucchini into the same sized pieces and the garlic and tomatoes - in small pieces.
It is best if you peel the tomatoes. You can do it faster, if you put them in hot water for a few seconds.
In a deep and wide pan, pour the olive oil and fry the peppers and zucchini. After a short time add the garlic and stir well, so that the products absorb its aroma.
I do not use spices, but you can flavor with something green or a mix of spices.
Add the tomatoes. Continue cooking until the liquid evaporates.
Add enough vegetable broth or water for the rice. It is recommended to be in a ratio of 3:1, but consider the type of rice.
Once it boils, add the rice. Season with salt and stir, flatten the layer of rice with a spatula or a wooden spoon.
The technique for the preparation of the oven-baked rice with zucchini and tomatoes is similar to the technique for making paella.
Leave the dish to boil and stir it for 5 minutes. Reduce the heat and cook until the liquid evaporates.
Cover the cooked rice with foil for about 10 minutes, in order to absorb the heat. Then you can serve it.
Enjoy your meal!
