Ingredients

Steps

Fry the rice in the oil over medium heat 5 minutes until it smells nutty and turns opaque.
Add the onion for 3 minutes, then the garlic and tomato paste for 1 minute.
Pour in the stock and salt, bring to a boil, then cover and cook on low 15 minutes.
Rest off the heat 5 minutes and fluff with a fork.

Rinsing the rice keeps the grains separate.
