Prawn & Bacon Red Rice
Instructions:
- Begin by heating up a large pan over medium heat.
- Once the pan is hot, add a generous amount of olive oil.
- Add the diced bacon and sauté until crispy and golden.
- Move the bacon to one side of the pan, creating space for the prawns.
- Sauté the prawns until they turn bright orange, then set them aside.
- In the same pan, add more olive oil and toss in the chopped onions, garlic, and capsicum. Sauté until soft and fragrant.
- Stir in the Trukai Medium Grain Rice and let it cook slightly with the aromatics, ensuring you stir constantly to prevent burning.
- Add the paprika, chili, and tomato paste, mixing everything well to coat the rice.
- Pour in the red wine and let it simmer until it reduces, intensifying the flavors.
- Slowly add the vegetable stock, one ladle at a time, stirring frequently as the rice absorbs the liquid.
- Toss in the cherry tomatoes and let them soften as the rice cooks, stirring gently.
- Once the rice reaches a sticky and flavorful consistency, fold in the cooked prawns and crispy bacon.
- Allow the dish to simmer for a few minutes, letting all the flavors meld together perfectly.
Serve hot and enjoy this hearty, festive dish with your loved ones.
