Spanish Rice

The kids are amazing in the kitchen . Very often they want to experiment with familiar ingredients , just adding a couple of different flavours or key ingredients to it to give it a different twist. Here is a Spanish rice made by my son. Its light, quick to cook and delightfully tasty. A treat for the eyes as well. 

Ingredients:
2 tbsp olive oil, 1 onion chopped fine, 2 garlic cloves chopped fine, 1 cup raw rice,1 tomato chopped, 2 cups chicken stock,   2 tbsp grated cheese, 1 tsp finely chopped oregano, salt and pepper to taste.

Pick and wash the rice. Drain it for about 30 minutes before cooking.

Heat a pan , lightly fry the onions and garlic till the onions are translucent.Add in the rice and saute till the rice is well coated with the oil. Meanwhile heat the chicken stock.Add to the rice, slowly mixing and stirring it . Add tomatoes, oregano , salt and pepper to the rice. Lower the flame and cover the pan. Cook for 10 mins or till the rice is just done.

To serve, fill the rice in a small bowl. Gently pat down the rice and turn it over into a serving plate. Garnish with grated cheese and serve.
