  • Chop the garlic, onion and bell pepper in small pieces.

  • Add the rice and stir for 1 minute. Shake the pan to even the rice and pour in the broth. Let is simmer uncovered for 15 minutes. Not all the water should have been evaporated. If it is the case, add a bit more water.

  • Once there is no liquid bubbling anymore and the rice starts to toast on the bottom of the pan, cut the heat and cover with foil for 10-12 minutes.
