Ingredients:
- 1 cup of rice
- Olive oil
- 4 eggs
- Salt, to taste
- 200 grams of sour cream
- Chives, chopped
- 5 small tomatoes, chopped
- Parsley, chopped
Method:
- Cook the Rice: Begin by rinsing the rice under cold water until the water runs clear. In a pot, bring 2 cups of water to a boil, add a pinch of salt, and stir in the rice. Lower the heat to a simmer, cover, and cook for approximately 15-20 minutes, or until the rice is tender and the water has been fully absorbed. Remove from heat and let it sit covered for an additional 5 minutes.
- Prepare the Eggs: While the rice is cooking, heat a small amount of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Crack the eggs into the skillet, season with a pinch of salt, and scramble until fully cooked. Remove from heat and set aside.
- Mix the Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked rice, scrambled eggs, chopped tomatoes, and chopped chives. Stir in the sour cream until the mixture is well combined. Season with salt to taste.
- Cook the Rice Mixture: In the same skillet used for the eggs, add a bit more olive oil if necessary and heat over medium-high heat. Add the rice mixture to the skillet, spreading it out evenly. Cook for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mixture is heated through and slightly crispy on the bottom.
- Serve: Transfer the cooked rice mixture to a serving dish. Garnish with chopped parsley for a fresh, vibrant finish. Serve warm and enjoy the comforting flavors of this family favorite.
