1tspdry rosemary, if you like rosemary (it’s optional)
1tspsalt
¼tspcoarse black pepper
1cupbasmati rice(other varieties would work good too, but we prefer basmati)
2cupswater
Additional salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
Preheat oven to 350⁰. Place the tomatoes, garlic, olive oil, and spices in a 9x13 dish. Toss and cover.
Bake for about 20 minutes and then uncover. Let the tomatoes and garlic blister a bit, if you want, turn on the broiler for a bit. The blistering gives it a good flavor.
Remove dish from oven. Add the rice and water. No need to mix. Just cover again. Return dish to the oven for another 30 minutes, until rice is soft and water is absorbed. Mix, season to taste and serve.
