Flavoured Onion Rice with Broccoli
By: Anu
Dec 31, 2001
Another one of my bizzare originals, that actually turned out wonderfully! This makes a light main dish along with a salad/raita, or a side dish with anything else! Steam the broccoli beforehand if you like to it more cooked. I like it crunchy! Oh, and I didn't make a spelling error; "FlavoUr" is right 
2 main dish servings
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup long-grain rice or basmati rice
- 1 cup water
- 1/2 teaspoon butter or margarine
- 1/2 medium onion, sliced into rings
- 1/3 cup water
- 1 cup broccoli floret
- 2 teaspoons tomato paste
- salt
- pepper (optional)
Directions
1
Wash the rice well.2
In a saucepan, cover the rice with 1 cup water, add a little salt (around 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon), and bring to a boil.3
Now lower the flame, cover the saucepan with a lid, leaving a small gap for the steam to escape, and cook for about 15 minutes or until the rice is cooked.4
While the rice is cooking, melt butter in a skillet and saute the onions on medium-high heat until browned.5
Remove onions from the skillet and reduce the flame to low.6
Add 1/3 cup water to the same skillet, salt to taste, and cook the broccoli in it for about 5 minutes.7
Now add the tomato paste, mix well, and cook for another minute or so.8
When all the water has evaporated, add the browned onions and the cooked rice to the skillet and mix well.9
Heat through for a minute, add salt to taste, and turn off the burner.10
Add a dash of pepper and serve hot!

I love anything with sauteed onions. I thought this had a complex flavor for so few ingredients. I did use a lot of fresh ground black pepper, and the broccoli has a bit of a peppery flavor, too, I think. I probably used a full teaspoon or more of butter. I just got some of that concentrated tomato paste in a tube, so it was easy to just use a little. I saw the suggestion of a raita and made a cucumber one to go with this, but I did like it plain too.

nice recipe!!! i was out of basmati & used short grain rice, although i really like basmati & will try it again with basmati the next time. used a little more broccoli than called for, less butter & tomato paste, added 2 tomatoes, diced. i did end up having to add more spices, it was just too bland for my taste. but i love how low it is in cals & fat

I really like this rice. Unique flavor and I like to incorporate veggies whenever possible. We will make this again!

I chose this recipe to use up some tomato paste that I had, as well as how it required minimal work and all the ingredients were on hand. I followed the directions exactly, but I found it to have no flavor at all. (I used long grain rice if that means anything.) After I tested it when it was done, and realized it had no flavor, I added more salt, more pepper, even some chili powder-- but it didn't help. I give this a two-star (rather than a 1) because it was easy to make, and ingredients were on hand. I don't know what I did wrong, and I am sorry it didn't turn out! Perhaps I will try this again sometime, to see if it was just a fluke. Sorry!
