The combined dishes They are a great ally in the kitchen to take advantage of different food leftovers that we keep in the fridge. And when these are mostly vegetables, rice or legumes they become a perfect complement to make this dish a much more complete dish. And that's how this combo dish of rice, cauliflower and roasted carrots comes to be.
roasted vegetables They are at another level compared to the cooked ones. However, we do not always have the time to prepare them in this way. That is why I have used a trick here, that of blanching the vegetables for a few minutes and then taking them to the oven.
The condiments They are very important in this dish and you can add the ones you like the most. At home we have opted for turmeric for the rice and a mixture of sweet and hot paprika for the vegetables, as well as salt and pepper, of course. Do you like combined dishes of this type?
