Arroz a la Jardinera
Rice cooked with colourful vegetables in an onion, garlic and tomato base.
About Arroz a la Jardinera
Arroz a la jardinera is described by Erick Rodriguez Plaza as a traditional dish of Peru's coast. His rendition brings rice together with carrot, corn, peas, green beans and pimiento pepper.
Onion and garlic form the initial aderezo, with tomato paste flavouring the cooking liquid. The vegetables begin cooking before rice and corn join the pot, giving the grains a colourful vegetable setting.
The covered rice finishes as a vegetable accompaniment. A fried egg is one of the optional pairings described by the author, adding a separate topping beside or over the rice.
