Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 1 onion, sliced roughly
- 2 garlic cloves, chopped
- 250g par-cooked long-grain rice
- 1 can of coconut milk
- 500ml water
- 1 vegetable stock cube
- fresh ground black pepper
- 1tsp smoked paprika
- 5 Brussels sprouts, very finely sliced
- 2 Roma tomatoes, chopped into small cubes
- 2 tbsp capers
- 1 package of frozen mixed seafood
- salt, pepper, and lemon juice to taste
Instructions
- Saute the onions in oil until softened.
- Then add the garlic and rice, mix to coat, and fry lightly for a minute.
- Pour the coconut milk and water over the rice and allow it to start warming.
- Then add the stock cube, pepper, and paprika.
- Combine it all well and simmer over very low heat, stirring occasionally, for about 20 minutes uncovered.
- If you need to add more water or time to get the rice softened, go ahead – you don’t want crispy rice here!
- When the rice is just about done, stir in the Brussels sprouts so that they are just wilted into the rice.
- Sprinkle the capers over the top.
- Meanwhile, fry the seafood in oil with salt, pepper, and a few drops of lemon juice.
- Don’t overcook them, but get some color on them. It really helps to have a nice big pan so that they don’t end up boiling in their own juices.
- Serve the rice with the tomatoes for a very liberal fresh garnish and top with seafood (not in the picture – we ate it too fast!).
- This one is a showstopper!!
