Ingredients

1 cup rice (we recommend arborio)
250 g white cabbage (8.8 oz) cut into 2 cm/0.8 in squares
1 liter vegetable broth or water
1 tomato grated
1 onion finely chopped
1 carrot grated
5 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil
½ tsp curry
salt and freshly ground black pepper

Instructions

Heat the olive oil with the curry in a large pan, over medium to high heat.
Once warm, add the onion and sauté for 2 minutes.
Then, add the rice and sauté for 2 minutes (first rinse and drain it).
Next, add the tomato and carrot and continue for 1 minute, stirring frequently.
Add the cabbage and sauté for another 2 minutes.
Finally, add the broth (or water), salt and pepper. Cover and simmer over low heat for 15-20 minutes. After 12-13 minutes, taste the rice every now and then and when it's done, remove the pan from the heat. If you intend to leave it in the frying pan for a while, remove it just before the rice is fully cooked, as it will continue to soften.
It is served warm, but is eaten pleasantly and cold, especially when the weather is warm.

Notes

We always recommend broth instead of water. In this recipe it is very easy to make our own broth from the vegetables we'll use in the recipe or parts of it that we would throw away. So, to make our broth, put in a pot, a liter/34 oz of water, the tomato peel, the outer layer of the onion (just below the peel), which is often rough and thrown away, a little piece of carrot, and a few spices to flavor, such as curry, coriander, and turmeric. If you want to enrich it you can also add some red pepper.
