Zubereitung

1
Heat the vegetable oil in a wide, heavy 2-liter saucepan over medium heat. Add the drained rice and cook for 5 to 7 minutes, stirring often, until the grains look lightly golden and smell nutty.
2
Add the onion and carrot and sauté for 3 minutes, stirring, until the onion begins to soften. Add the garlic and cumin and cook for 30 seconds, just until aromatic.
3
Pour in the tomato puree and stir for 1 minute, scraping the base of the pan so the rice is evenly coated and the puree loses its raw aroma.
4
Stir in the hot vegetable stock and salt. Bring the mixture to a full boil over medium-high heat, then stir once and reduce the heat to low.
5
Cover tightly and simmer for 18 minutes. Do not lift the lid; the rice is ready when the liquid is absorbed and the grains are tender with a slight spring at the center.

6
Remove the pan from the heat and scatter in the peas. Cover again and rest for 5 minutes so the residual steam warms the peas and finishes the grains.
7
Fluff the rice gently with a fork, then fold in the lime juice and cilantro. Taste and adjust the salt, and serve hot.

Warum dieses Rezept gelingt

Toasting the rice gives each grain a nutty backbone, while blended tomato, stock, and aromatics create savory depth without making the rice wet. A covered simmer and short rest finish the grains gently and evenly.
