Surely this elaborate dish requires a spot of extra effort, but the mouth-watering result is absolutely worth it! “Flash, Bang, Wallop” is how your taste buds will react to this awesome dish, which features a splash of colours and vibrant flavours.
Layers of freshly made tomato sauce, a creamy spinach mixture and a richly textured corn mixture adorn perfectly cooked long-grain rice, giving this one-pot meal a well-rounded flavour and tantalising appearance.
Tangy, creamy and rich, this Layered Corn and Spinach Rice with Tomato Sauce is just too tasty to resist, and a garnish of grated cheese only makes it all the more luscious! Although the preparation takes a bit of time, the actual cooking time is less, so make it just before serving to enjoy the best appearance, texture and taste.
