- 3While the tomatoes are baking, wash the rice. Place it in a pot with the stock or water. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer until the liquid is fully absorbed and rice is tender.
- 4Once the rice is cooked and tomatoes are done, carefully pour all the buttery liquid from the tomato tin into the rice. Add salt and pepper, then stir well to combine the flavors.
- 5Transfer the seasoned rice to a serving dish. Arrange the baked tomatoes on top of the rice with the red, unbroken skin side facing up.
