Cooking method

Cooking time: 50 min

1. Rice should be washed with cold water and put to cook. After boiling, drain the water and pour in fresh, add salt. Red rice is cooked a little longer than white rice - about 35 minutes on moderate heat.

2. While the rice is cooking, peel the bell pepper from inedible parts and cut into medium cubes.

3. Cut the young zucchini into rings, and then divide each ring into 4 parts.

4. Peel the mushrooms and onions. Cut the onion into cubes in proportion to the pepper and zucchini. Cut the mushrooms into plates.

5. Divide the tomatoes in half lengthwise and/or across.

6. Peel garlic and finely chop one clove together with green onions.

7. Crush the second clove of garlic and put it in a hot frying pan with olive oil. Fry a little so that the garlic gives off flavor and remove it from the oil.

8. Put the chopped shallots and zucchini in the pan. Fry until lightly golden.

9. Meanwhile, carefully, without catching too much, remove half a teaspoon of zest from the lime with a thickness of no more than 1 mm and chop finely.

10. Put Bulgarian pepper in a frying pan with vegetables, fry it until golden. Add the mushrooms.

11. After a few minutes, lay out the tomatoes. Let the tomatoes juice for a couple of minutes and add rice to the vegetables, mix. Add salt and pepper, fry for a few minutes.

12. At the end, add the green onion, garlic, zest, thyme and squeeze out a few drops of lime juice. Stir and fry a little more.

The dish is ready, decorate with grated cheese and serve to the table.
