Organic Red Rice

1

Preheat oven to 375°F/190°C.
2

Add 3 tbsp butter and the onion to a large, oven-proof pan with a lid, or a Dutch oven. Cook on medium-high heat for 3-4 mins, until onion has softened.
3

Add rice and garlic, stir, and gently cook for 1 min.
4

Add tinned tomatoes, cherry tomatoes, oregano, and vegetable broth. Stir until evenly mixed. Place lid on pan and place in oven for 45-50 mins, stirring halfway through. If there is still some liquid in the pot but rice is tender after 45-50 mins, remove lid and return to oven for 5 more mins.
5

Remove from oven and stir in parmesan and remaining butter. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
6

Serve immediately with more parmesan and fresh basil, as preferred.
