Ainekset

2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil

1 tablespoon bacon fat (use lard if you don’t have bacon fat, but we don’t recommend using vegetable shortening since it won’t add much flavor to this dish)

1 diced onion

2 teaspoons minced garlic

12 fresh tomatoes cored and cut into large one inch chunks (save any juice from cutting)

350 ml cups broth (we used vegetable, but chicken also work)

1 cup long-grain white rice

¼ teaspoon salt

¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

In a medium pot with a tight-fitting lid, melt bacon fat in the oil over medium high.

Add tomatoes with their juice, cover and simmer for 30 minutes.

Add stock, bring to a boil and add rice, salt and pepper.
