Delicious Unique Spicy Risotto

Risotto is supposed to be an Italian rice dish. But even though the ingredients in this recipe are not typically Italian, I am taking the privilege of calling it Risotto, since it is actually a blend of rice and other interesting ingredients. This item is very easy to make, can be mild or spicy, and it is healthy too.

Ingredients

1 cup Long Grain Rice
2 Vegetarian Burger Patties (frozen)
2 Tomatoes (finely chopped)
2 Green Onions (chopped)
1 teaspoon Cayenne Pepper
1/2 teaspoon Ground Black Pepper
1 teaspoon Salt
1/4` cup Cilantro (finely chopped)
6 tablespoons Cooking oil (olive, avocado or other cooking oil)

Optional

1 tablespoon Lemon Juice

Directions

Step 1
Cook the rice. Don't cook it mushy. See recipes on this site.
Step 2
Place a non-stick frypan on medium heat. Add 2 tablespoon oil and spread it.
Step 3
Place the burger patties in the frypan and cook them until golden brown. Set aside.
Step 4
Add 4 tablespoon oil to the frypan.
Step 5
Add the green onion. Cook for 2 minutes.
Step 6
Add the chopped tomatoes, 1/2 teaspoon salt, cayenne pepper and the black pepper. Cook for 2 minutes.
Step 7
Add half of the cooked rice to the mixture in the frypan. Add 1 teaspoon salt and half of the cilantro. If you like it tangy, add 1 teaspoon lemon juice. Mix the contents gently with a non-stick spatula, without mashing the rice.
Step 8
Chop the burger patties into 1/2 inch cubes.
Step 9
Add them to the fry pan and mix by turning around the contents gently. If you like, you can add the veggie burger cubes separately on each serving plate, instead of mixing it with the contents in the frypan.
Step 10
Garnish with cilantro. Serve hot.
