Rice with minced meat in tomato sauce
You've just found a new lunch dish that you can cook in 40 minutes. We often underestimate rice, preferring, say, pasta. But rice is a great base for cooking not only pilaf, but also a lot of tasty, hearty and healthy dishes. In this recipe, the rice will have the most intense flavor: it's all about the tomato paste in which it will be stewed.

Step 2
Add the mince and fry, stirring, for about 3 minutes. Pour in the tomato paste, add the rice, salt and stir. Cover the pan with a lid, reduce the heat to low and simmer for 20 minutes, adding water if necessary.
