Fusion Tomato Rice

I used a fusion in front of the name of this dish as it uses a Chinese cooking method with very much Italian ingredients, hopefully you will like it...


Ingredients:

1/2 Red Onion

2 Large Tomatoes

3 Chinese Shitake Mushroom

5 cloves Garlic

25g Shredded Cheese

150g Tuna Flakes

75ml Long Grain Rice

1 tbsp Pepper

1 tbsp Dried Basil

1 1/2 tbsp Brown Sugar

2 tbsp Sea Salt

2 tbsp Olive Oil

2 tbsp Tomato Paste

Method:

1. Soak the rice in water beforehand. Dice the mushroom and red onion, fine chop the garlic. Separate the center of the tomatoes and the harder skin layer, dice the skin layer and leave the pulp aside.

2. In a wok, dry toast the mushroom, red onion and garlic, add 1/2 tbsp of sugar to caramelize them before adding olive oil.

3. Stir in the dice tomato and tuna flakes. Add seasoning, followed by the tomato pulp extracted earlier.

4. Stir in the rice, mix well and leave to cook for about 5 minutes before stirring in the shredded cheese. Move everything into a rice cooker, press cook. Done. Serve hot from the rice cooker.
