Vegetarian microwave eggs and rice recipe

Ingredients:

• 2 white eggs.
• 4 cups of brown rice.
• 1 large red grated onion.
• Salt.
• Provençal nutmeg.
• 4 perita tomatoes.
• Brown sugar.
• Neutral oil.

The first step is to do is cooking the rice, in this case, brown rice, so mix it with the water, the salt and the olive oil in a microwave-safe container (this is very important), that should be large enough, since the rice will increase in volume and it could overflow if the container can’t handle it.

If the container lid does not have a vapor vent, do not close it completely, try to leave a space for the steam to escape, and cook at maximum power (800 W) for 12 minutes.

When time is up, take the container out of the microwave, uncover it, stir it well with a spoon or a fork, and put it back in the microwave, also at maximum power for another 10-12 minutes.

Let it rest for a few minutes to finish cooking, so it can be used later. To further separate the grains, use a strainer and cool running tap water to drain it well.

Then place the rice on a deep plate and open the 2 white eggs on top of the rice, place it in the microwave for a minute and a half without adding any oil or butter.

The final touch will be the sliced tomatoes, so place it on the rice, then you can rectify the salty or sweetness of the dish using salt or sugar, and voila you can present it.
