Advice

Rinse rice until the water runs mostly clear—removing surface starch keeps grains separate after baking.

Why it works

Paprika blooms in oil for color and sweetness; starting on the stove jump-starts flavor and heat, while a covered bake steams the rice evenly before a brief uncovered roast concentrates the juices.

Twist

Chickpea power: Fold in 240 g (1½ cups / 8.5 oz) cooked chickpeas before baking for extra protein and a fuller meal.

Status

All the Balkan flavors in one spoon—Đuveč that’s bright, cozy, and completely plant-based. #grannyzen #fastingdish 🍚🌶️
