This colorful bell pepper rice composition is a dish that has become a tradition in our home when things need to be done quickly and everyone still needs to be full and satisfied. My grandma always prepared it with the rice from the day before in order not to waste anything. She then called it "Lazy Farmer's Breakfast" because it was so uncomplicated. Over time, I have refined the recipe a bit and adapted it to the Thermomix®, but the basic idea has remained the same: a simple, nutritious dish made from just a few ingredients. The bell peppers are of course the stars of this dish. I prefer to use a mixture of red, yellow, and orange bell peppers because they not only look good, but also bring different flavor nuances. The red bell pepper is more sweet, the yellow one is a bit milder, and the orange one has a slightly fruity note. The onions and garlic form the aromatic base, while the chili pepper provides a pleasant kick. If you don't like it too spicy, you can of course leave out the chili pepper or only use part of it. The tomato paste gives the whole thing a slightly acidic note and ensures a nice binding. The spices, especially the paprika powder, are crucial for the taste. I use both mild and hot paprika powder to achieve a balanced spice. When preparing it in the Thermomix®, it is important not to chop the onions too finely, otherwise they may burn when sautéing. I therefore set the level to 5. When sautéing the onions and tomato paste, it is important to keep an eye on the temperature so that nothing burns. 120°C is ideal here. When mixing in the rice, the reverse rotation is important so that the rice is not crushed. For a vegetarian version, you can simply leave the dish as it is. For a vegan version, you can replace the yogurt dip with a vegan yogurt alternative or prepare a tahini sauce. If you like, you can also add other vegetables, such as zucchini, eggplant or mushrooms. You can also vary the spices. Cumin, coriander or smoked paprika also go very well with this dish. The bell pepper rice pan tastes best when it is freshly prepared. But you can also prepare it well in advance and store it in the refrigerator. To warm it up, simply add some water or vegetable broth so that the rice does not dry out. A fresh salad or a piece of bread goes well as a side dish. But you can also use the bell pepper rice pan as a filling for bell peppers or zucchini. The yogurt dip rounds off the dish perfectly and ensures a pleasant freshness. If you like, you can also refine the dip with fresh herbs such as parsley, chives or dill.
