Method

  • Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a non-stick pan over medium heat. Add 1 chopped onion and a pinch of salt. Fry the onion gently until the onion is soft and slightly translucent.

  • Add 2 cloves of garlic and ¼ teaspoon of chili flakes to the pan with the onions. Stir in a can of tomatoes and 1 teaspoon of butter. Season to taste with salt. Simmer the tomatoes with the lid on for 15 minutes.

  • When the tomato sauce is thick and fragrant, add 2 tablespoons of raisins and cooked tomato sauce to the rice. Stir well with a spoon or spatula and taste to adjust seasoning.

Medium Grain

White medium grain rice is a round, tender and succulent grain, allowing it to lock in moisture when it is cooked. This rice is often used in dishes that require a bit more creaminess, like paella or risotto. It is also ideal in your favourite Middle Eastern, Korean and Spanish dishes.
