Rice And Eggs With Pesto Pine Nuts And Tomatoes Food

PESTO RICE WITH PINE NUTS

Steps:

• Cook the rice in the hot water, simmering over a low heat in a covered pan for around 20 minutes, until all the water has been absorbed.
• When the rice is fully cooked, remove from the heat.
• Add the pesto sauce, pine nuts and parmesan cheese. Stir to mix well.
• If the rice has had a chance to cool at all, you may wish to reheat it at this point- the rice should be hot enough for the mozzarella to melt slightly.
• Serve onto plates and top with the grated mozzarella if desired.
• Enjoy!

PESTO STUFFED TOMATOES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 300°F or 150°C (the lower temperature helps to stop the tomatoes from splitting).
• Cook the rice in the hot water, simmering over a low heat in a covered pan for around 20 minutes, until all the water has been absorbed.
• Meanwhile, slice the tops off the tomatoes, just enough to reveal the seeds. Also cut a fine slice from the bottom of each tomato, so they can stand up straight but not enough to leave a hole.
• Scoop the core and seeds out of each tomato to leave a shell, being careful to leave the base of the tomato intact.
• When the rice is fully cooked, remove from the heat.
• Add the pesto sauce, pine nuts, parmesan cheese and 1/4 cup of the grated mozzarella cheese. Stir to mix well.
• Spoon the mixture carefully into each tomato shell, until level with the top of the tomato, pressing down with the spoon so the filling is firmly packed in.
• Place the other 1/8 cup of grated mozzarella cheese evenly over the top of the filled tomatoes.
• Bake on a baking tray lined with foil for around 20 minutes, until the tomatoes are softened and the mozzarella is just turning golden.
• Enjoy!

TOMATO AND EGG WITH RICE

Steps:

• Heat 2 teaspoons of the neutral oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat until starting to shimmer. Add the ginger and scallion whites and cook, stirring, until the scallion is slightly golden brown, about 30 seconds. Add the tomatoes and cook in an even layer for 1 minute. Lower the heat to medium. Add the Shaoxing wine, sugar, white pepper and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Stir to combine and simmer for 5 minutes. Using the back of a wooden spoon or rubber spatula, mash the big pieces of tomatoes until broken down. Continue to simmer until the mixture resembles a chunky tomato sauce, 5 to 10 minutes.
• Mix the cornstarch with 2 teaspoons cold water in a small bowl until well combined. Drizzle into the tomato mixture and stir to fully incorporate. Simmer until the sauce thickens, about 2 minutes, then transfer to a medium heatproof bowl. Set aside.
• Wipe the skillet clean and add the remaining 1 teaspoon oil over medium-low heat. Add the eggs and sprinkle in 1/2 teaspoon salt. When the eggs are just starting to set to set, continue to cook, stirring with a rubber spatula to make big curds and folds, until the eggs are almost soft scrambled, 1 to 2 minutes. Gently pour the tomato mixture back into the skillet. Carefully fold into the eggs to combine. Remove from the heat and drizzle with the sesame oil. Divide among 4 shallow bowls along with the rice. Garnish with the scallion greens. Enjoy while warm.
