Chef's Notes
Do not skip browning the tomato paste in the pot! It takes two minutes and adds an incredible depth of umami that elevates this from a simple rice dish to an absolute masterpiece.
Pro Tip
When crushing whole peeled tomatoes by hand, do it directly over the roasting pan so you don't waste a single drop of that glorious tomato juice.
Kitchen Catastrophe Warning
If you dare to skip sealing that roasting pan tightly with heavy-duty foil, you will be left with crunchy, uncooked rice resembling driveway gravel and weeping over a ruined royal feast while your smoke alarm serenades your neighbors.
The Jester's Corner
Royal Court Comedy
They call it 'oven-baked' to make us feel sophisticated, but we all know it's just a fancy way of telling the oven to do all the actual work while the chef takes a nap.
The Culinary Science
Covering the roasting pan tightly with foil creates a closed pressure-steam environment, allowing the long-grain rice to absorb the chicken stock evenly without scorching on the bottom.
