INGREDIENTS

Made with

Indian Style Tomatoes

Ripened on the vine under the Hawke's Bay sun, Wattie's Indian Style Tomatoes are diced and blended, then seasoned for an authentic Indian flavour.

Method

Step 1

Preheat oven to 200°C. Heat butter in a flameproof casserole dish on the stove top and gently cook the onion until it begins to soften.

Step 2

Stir in the arborio rice until the rice starts to whiten. Pour over Wattie's Indian Style Tomatoes, Wattie's Condensed Tomato Soup with Diced Tomatoes and 1/2 can of water. Stir to mix and bring to the boil. Remove from the heat. Cover and place in the preheated oven for 20 minutes. Remove from the oven and stir through Wattie's frozen Baby Peas. Cover and return to the oven for a further 5 minutes until the rice is just cooked and the peas are tender. Stir through the chopped coriander. Allow to stand for 5 minutes before serving as a side dish to accompany baked chicken and seasonal vegetables.
