Cod with pepper rice
Ingredients
1 small onion
1 large ripe tomato
1 bay leaf
1/4 red bell pepper
1/4 green bell pepper
100 g short-grain rice (Carolino rice)
Salt, to taste
Parsley, to taste
Olive oil, to taste
Preparation
Place the cod (still frozen) in a pot submerged in water and bring to a boil. Once it starts boiling, cook for 10 minutes and then remove the cod.
In another pot, sauté the chopped onion in olive oil until softened. Then add the chopped tomato (peeled) and the bay leaf, cooking for 2–3 minutes.
Add the peppers cut into thin strips (without seeds or white parts) and stir for 1 minute.
Add the rice, season with salt, and stir until the rice becomes translucent.
Pour in 300 ml of hot water (add more hot water أثناء cooking if necessary) and cook until the rice is done.
Adjust seasoning if needed, turn off the heat, remove the bay leaf, and mix in chopped parsley. Stir well.
Serve the cod drizzled with a little olive oil and sprinkled with chopped parsley, accompanied by the pepper rice and a lettuce salad.
