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.

Rice with minced meat in tomato sauce - FAQ About Ingredients, Baking Time and Storage

Yes, brown rice can be substituted, but it requires a longer cooking time (about 40 minutes) and slightly more water. Adjust the simmering time accordingly.
You can substitute tomato paste with canned crushed tomatoes or tomato sauce, but reduce the amount of added water to avoid making the dish too watery.
Yes, this dish freezes well. Let it cool completely, then store in an airtight container for up to 3 months. Thaw in the fridge overnight before reheating.
Absolutely! Replace the minced meat with lentils, tofu crumbles, or textured vegetable protein (TVP) for a delicious vegetarian version.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 3-4 days. Reheat thoroughly before serving.
This pairs well with a fresh salad, roasted vegetables, or a dollop of yogurt. A sprinkle of fresh herbs like parsley adds a nice finish.
Add red pepper flakes, chopped chili peppers, or a dash of hot sauce while cooking to increase the heat level to your preference.
Yes, sauté the onions and meat first, then transfer everything to the rice cooker with the liquid. Use the standard white rice setting.
Substitute the rice with cauliflower rice or quinoa for a lower-carb version. Adjust cooking times as these alternatives cook faster than rice.
