Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup of rice
- 2 tablespoons of olive oil
- 1 onion, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 bell pepper, diced
- 1 can of tomatoes, chopped
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 cup chicken broth
- Fresh parsley for garnishing
Instructions
- Begin by heating the olive oil in your pan over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and garlic, stirring until they become translucent and release their aromas. This forms the flavor base of your dish, ensuring every bite is infused with taste.
- Add the diced bell pepper to the pan and cook for a few minutes until it softens. Be careful not to overcook; the pepper should retain some crunch for texture contrast.
- Stir in the canned tomatoes and sprinkle with paprika. Season with salt and pepper to your liking. Allow the mixture to simmer, melding the flavors together.
- Add the rice and chicken broth to the tomato mixture. Stir well and bring the mixture to a gentle boil. Once boiling, lower the heat, cover the pan, and let it simmer until the rice is tender and has absorbed most of the liquid.
- Turn off the heat and let the dish sit for a few minutes. Just before serving, sprinkle with freshly chopped parsley to add color and a burst of herbal freshness. Serve warm and enjoy!
