Whenever I cook rice, I make twice the amount, because the leftover rice is the perfect basis for the next meal. Also, cooled rice has built resistant starch which feeds our good gut bacteria.
Sometimes I make my pineapple rice with vegan egg, but mostly we’re just having this tasty tomato rice from the skillet, as tomatoes and beans are things we always have on hand, that’s a perfect side dish.
How to turn this tomato rice into a main course
- sliced veggie sausages
- cilantro
- limes
- avocado
- vegan sour cream
- I really like to sprinkle the fruity-spicy Turkish paprika based seasoning Pul Biber over this dish, it fits very well. But don’t worry if you don’t have it, the rice is also great without it.
This way you easily create a Mexican inspired fusion bowl.
I like black beans best, but any other beans work well for this tomato rice.
The tomato rice also works well as a filling for burritos or wraps. You can find my recipe for good homemade wraps here.
This recipe is gluten free when you get gluten free vegan sausages.
