“Baked Rice is a traditional Brazilian Jewish favorite, often served on Friday night as a main course or side dish. While baking, it wafts a most satisfying aroma.”
Ingredients
- 4-5 cups cooked rice
- 1 onion, chopped
- 3 cloves garlic, crushed
- 1 green pepper, chopped
- 2 tsp. oregano (flakes or ground)
- 1/2 lb. salami or hot dogs, in small cubes
- 1 cup fresh or frozen peas
- 500 gm can tomato sauce
- 2 eggs, hard-boiled, chopped
Directions
Place half of rice in bottom of lightly greased 3-quart casserole. In a separate pan, sauté onion, garlic and green pepper until very soft. Add oregano and salami or hot dogs and sauté an additional 5 minutes. Place on top of rice. Cover with peas (if using fresh, partially precook), one chopped egg and half the tomato sauce. Place remaining rice on top with more chopped egg and remaining tomato sauce. Bake in 350-degree oven about 45 minutes or until heated through. May be prepared early in the day – then heat it and serve.
