Rice Tricolore

In the 1970's, the culinary scene was abundant with such dishes; colors were everywhere, the style was heavy and full with multiple decorative features in each dish. This 3 colored rice dish is in total opposition to the minimal tendencies of our day, but can definitely be used to liven up a table anywhere and accompany a variety of main courses, be they meat or vegetables!

Ingredients:

  • 2 1/2 cups long grain rice
  • 1/4 cup oil
  • 3/4 cup tomato sauce
  • 3/4 cup parboiled spinach or 250 gr of fresh spinach
  • salt & pepper
  • green olives for garnishing

Procedure:

Boil or sauté spinach in very little oil.

Then pass through a food processor to convert into puree.

Boil rice in water- 1 part rice to 2-3 parts water. Rice should remain flaky.

Make sure not to over cook the rice, if it is flaky before water is absorbed, drain.

Divide into 3 equal parts and place in 3 mixing bowls.

Heat oil until clear and mix into 1 bowl of rice. This part stays white.

Mix in tomato sauce with second bowl of rice, and puréed spinach with third bowl of rice.

Take a round mold and press rice into mold in three different layers – first layer green, second layer white and third layer red, or in which ever order your aesthetic calls for.

Place onto large round dish and garnish with olives.
