KNORR RICE SIDES RECIPE RECIPES

Steps:

• In a medium heavy pot with a tight fitting lid, heat oil on medium heat and saute scallions, cilantro and garlic for about 2 minutes.
• Add tomatoes and saute another minute.
• Add rice and saute 2 minutes longer, stirring frequently.
• Add water, bullion cube and sazón.
• Taste the water for salt and add more to taste.
• Let water boil on a high flame stirring once.
• As the water boils down and just barely skims the top of the rice, turn the flame to very low and cover 15 minutes.
• The steam will cook the rice so do not open.
• After 15 minutes, shut the flame off and let it sit at least 5 more minutes.
• This will finish cooking the rice without burning the bottom.

Steps:

• Add just 1 tbsp of Olive oil to a heavy-based casserole dish and fry the onion for 5 minutes until soft but not coloured.
• Add the pepper and garlic and cook for 2 minutes while moving it about so the garlic doesn't burn.
• Slit the sausage skins and crumble the sausage meat so it looks like small meatballs.
• Turn the heat to high (otherwise, the sausage will steam rather than brown). Cook while moving it about a bit in the pan for about 4–5 minutes until coloured.
• Add the smoked paprika and mix and season to taste.
• Add the rice and stir well to mix thoroughly and absorb the flavour.
• Now deglaze the pan by pouring in the white wine and scraping any bits stuck to the bottom.
• Add the stock and bring to the boil and then turn to simmer.
• Cook gently for 15–20 minutes until the rice is tender and the liquid almost entirely absorbed.
• Keep an eye on it and stir from time to time.
• Remove from the heat, gently fold in the spring onions, tomato and parsley and serve.
