One-pot meals are a great way of getting dinner on the table when you’re short on time. Sometimes all you want and need to do is put everything but the kitchen sink into one big pot and hope that it transforms into something delectable. One-pot meals are also a great way for me to clean up my fridge of leftovers. Often times, I’ve added any vegetable within arms reach into a thick hearty stew or curry. But not today. Today, I wasn’t in the mood for a soup or stew. True, it’s droopy and cold out, but that just makes me crave for a huge helping of warm flavoured rice. My Instant Pot, as usual, came to my rescue and this aromatic Tomato Rice was served up in minutes. And then… everything was good again!
