An Authentic Portuguese Tomato Rice
Traditionally this Portuguese Tomato Rice is made with Carolino rice, a Portuguese variety of short grain rice which is perfect for creamier dishes. If you are outside of Portugal a good alternative is the Italian Arborio rice.
Apart from the short grain rice, you will also need very ripe plum tomatoes, red pepper, onions, garlic, extra virgin olive oil, white wine, vegetable stock, a bay leaf, and fresh parsley. The goal is to make a rustic tomato sauce that you will combine with vegetable stock to cook your rice in. I prefer using homemade stock, let me know if you want the recipe!
