Rice Pizza

Method

A golden rice base that crunches under the teeth, topped with melting mozzarella and stewed tomatoes. The smell of toasted cheese and fresh basil fills the kitchen.

1. 1

   Cook the rice in a large pot of boiling salted water until tender. Drain thoroughly and let cool slightly to avoid cooking the eggs instantly when mixing.

2. 2

   In a mixing bowl, combine the rice with the beaten eggs and grated parmesan. The mixture should be sticky and every grain of rice should be well coated.

3. 3

   Heat the olive oil in a large skillet. Spread the rice, pressing down firmly with the back of a spoon to form a compact patty about two centimeters thick. Let it brown until the edges are golden.

4. 4

   Spread the diced tomatoes, sliced mozzarella, and dried oregano over the rice. Season with salt and pepper. The cheese should start to soften from the heat.

5. 5

   Cover the skillet and cook over medium heat. The pizza is ready when the mozzarella is completely melted and the rice base is firm and crispy. Add fresh basil just before serving.
