Delicious Greek-style Rice: A Classic For Your Lunch

O Que Você Precisa Saber

- The sequential sautéing of the vegetables ensures that the carrot and bell pepper cook evenly along with the rice grains. - The ratio of two parts water to one part rice results in perfectly cooked, fluffy grains. - The 5-minute rest with the pot covered settles the moisture and allows loosening the grains with a fork without breaking.

Ingredients

Main Course

2 cups of rice
4 cups of water
1 cup of peas
1 medium carrot, chopped
1 red bell pepper, chopped
1 chopped onion
2 tablespoons oil
Salt to taste

Instructions

Main Course

Em uma panela grande, aqueça o óleo e refogue a cebola picada até que esteja transparente.

Add the carrot and bell pepper, sautéing for 3 more minutes.

Add the peas and rice, stirring well to incorporate the flavors.

Add the water and salt. Increase the heat until boiling.

When it starts to boil, lower the heat, cover the pan, and cook for about 20 minutes.

Turn off the heat and let the pan rest covered for another 5 minutes for the rice to settle.

Fluff the rice with a fork before serving.

Chef Tips

- Cut the carrot and red bell pepper into tiny, regular cubes the size of peas for a uniform look. - Prefer fresh or frozen peas instead of canned ones to keep the bright green color and firm texture after cooking. - Loosen the rice gently with a fork in upward movements so as not to crush the soft vegetables.

Variations

- Add half a cup of white or black raisins along with the peas for a festive sweet and sour touch. - Add small cubes of cooked ham or mozzarella cheese at the end to turn it into a one-pot dish. - Sprinkle freshly chopped parsley and green onions at the moment of loosening the grains before taking to the table.

Substitutions

- Red bell pepper can be replaced with finely chopped yellow bell pepper or firm seedless tomato. - The traditional white long-grain rice can be replaced by parboiled rice or brown cateto rice. - Common vegetable oil can be swapped for extra virgin olive oil or unsalted butter to enrich the aroma.

How to Store

Guarde o arroz à grega em pote fechado na geladeira por até 4 dias. Reaqueça na panela tampada com duas colheres de água quente em fogo baixo ou em recipiente apropriado no micro-ondas por 2 minutos.

Can You Freeze It?

Pode congelar por até 2 meses em recipientes herméticos de uso culinário. Para descongelar, passe para a geladeira na véspera ou aqueça direto no micro-ondas em potência média mexendo na metade do tempo.

What to Serve With

It is the traditional side dish to accompany roast turkey, pork leg, lizard stuffed with bacon, or breaded chicken fillets. Combines perfectly with crispy cassava farofa and potato mayonnaise.
