A delightful and easy-to-make herbed rice dish with a touch of tomato goodness.
Rinse the rice under cold water until the water runs clear.
Rinsing the rice removes excess starch, preventing it from becoming too sticky.
Add the rinsed rice and water to the rice cooker.
Ensure the water level matches the rice cooker's instructions for perfect cooking.
Drizzle the olive oil over the rice and water mixture.
The olive oil adds a subtle richness to the rice.
Stir in the vinegar, basil, oregano, salt, and pepper.
Mix well to evenly distribute the flavors.
Top the mixture with the diced tomatoes, spreading them evenly.
Placing the tomatoes on top ensures they cook gently, preserving their texture.
Start the rice cooker and cook according to its settings.
Avoid opening the lid during cooking to maintain the steam.
Once cooked, fluff the rice gently with a fork and serve warm.
Fluffing the rice helps separate the grains for a better texture.
