—————————————-
-While rice is cooking (I use an electric rice cooker), brown onion in a pan then add tomatoes.
-If tomatoes aren’t crushed, break them up with a fork or potato masher. Add salt, sage and sugar. Stir well, allow to bubble on low heat and for mixture to reduce a little.
-When rice is ready, let sit covered for 10 minutes then stir through butter and soy sauce.
-Add rice and cheese to tomato mixture, mix well.. then serve.
-Tomato rice is a great meal base, you can serve it in a bowl & top it with a variety of things. Fried eggs, avocado slices, grilled mushrooms, chicken wings, tinned tuna, meatballs, steak, chipolata sausages .. are just a few examples.
