Ingredients:
- 3 strips bacon, (chopped)
- ¼ cup salted butter
- 1 small onion, (finely diced (about 1 cup))
- 1 clove garlic, (minced (about 1 teaspoon))
- 1 (6 ounce) can tomato paste
- 1 ½ teaspoons kosher salt
- 1 ½ teaspoons sugar
- Freshly-ground black pepper, (to taste)
- 2 cups water
- 1 cup uncooked long-grain white rice
- Garnish: chopped fresh parsley
Instruction:
- Preheat oven to 350°F.
- In a large skillet, cook bacon in a large cast iron skillet (or other oven-proof skillet) over medium heat until crisp, about 7-8 minutes. Use a slotted spoon to remove bacon to a paper towel-lined plate, reserving the drippings in the pan.
- Melt butter in the same skillet over medium-high heat. Add onion and cook, stirring, until the onion softens, 3 to 4 minutes. Add the garlic and cook, stirring constantly, until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Stir in the tomato paste, kosher salt, sugar and pepper. Cook for 1 more minute.
- Add the bacon, water, and rice. Bring to a simmer, then reduce the heat to low. Cook, uncovered, stirring occasionally, until the liquid has reduced slightly, about 7-9 minutes. Use a wooden spoon to scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet as you stir.
- If you’re not using an oven-proof skillet, transfer the mixture to a greased 2-quart baking dish. Cover the skillet (or baking dish) and bake until the rice is tender, about 30-40 minutes, stirring every 15 minutes.
- Fluff the rice, garnish with fresh parsley, and serve.
