Hoo boy do I ever love this tomato rice. I made a big batch of it for dinner with those chicken skewers I made a few days ago (linked at the bottom of the page) and then I just didn’t stop eating it. I’m still eating it. And just FYI, because I know you’re wondering… it does make a pretty darn fine breakfast!!
The butter, the warm spices, the smoky tomatoes… it’s really delicious. It’s a perfect side dish for so many things but you could easily make it a whole meal by adding some chicken or chickpeas and veggies… maybe spinach? cauliflower? I think the options are endless.
Feel free to amp up the heat too if that’s your thing. Just dump in a bit more cayenne.

- 2 Tbsp butter

- 2 minced garlic cloves

Typical recipe: “We’re going to make this incredibly crispy [insert food here] by baking it in…”
Me: “No.” *runs to store to buy oil to deep fry [food]*
Lies. It’s usually lies. Not this time my friends… thanks to a couple of secret tricks, when I say this baked chicken is crispy, it is, in fact, actually crispy.
And so darn good.
