1 teaspoon dried oregano

Where to find ingredients
Find rice, margarine, and tomatoes in local grocery stores or markets. Beef stock cubes are available in the spice or condiment aisle of most supermarkets. For cheeses, mozzarella is widely available; as substitutes for Brazilian varieties like Prato or Colonial cheese, any mild, semi-soft melting cheese can be used.
Preparation method
- Dissolve the beef stock cubes in four cups of boiling water, stirring until completely dissolved.
- Add the rice to the stock water and cook over low heat until tender, approximately twenty minutes.
- Once cooked, add the margarine and mix gently with a fork to fluff the grains.
- Transfer the rice to a medium-sized baking dish and spread the tomato slices over the top.
- Sprinkle the oregano over the tomatoes and cover everything with the mozzarella cheese slices.
- Place in a preheated oven at 200°C for about ten minutes or until the cheese melts and turns slightly golden.
- Serve hot, accompanied by a salad or as a main dish.
