The dish of the poor
Bulgarian recipe
Ingredients:
4 medium potatoes
2 tomatoes (or 200 g canned tomatoes)
1-2 carrots
1 medium onion
2/3 cup round rice (180 ml cup)
Salt and pepper to taste
1 tea spoon dried savory
1 tea spoon sweet paprika
Oil
Preparation:
Mince the onions and cut the peeled carrots, tomatoes and potatoes into cubes (a little larger for potatoes). In a saucepan, pour 4-6 tablespoons of oil and cook the onions shortly. Then, sprinkle with paprika and, barely heated, add the tomatoes, carrots and potatoes as well as the other spices. Pour over 4 cups of boiling water and simmer over low heat.
Once the potatoes are well cooked through, which takes about half an hour, add the rinsed round rice. Stir. Continue cooking over low heat for about twenty more minutes. If necessary, add boiling water.
Serve warm, sprinkled with chopped parsley.
