Cuisine: Spanish

Ingredients:

• 1 cup of long-grain white rice
• 1 small onion, finely chopped
• 1 red bell pepper, diced
• 3 garlic cloves, minced
• 2 tablespoons of olive oil
• 2 cups of chicken or vegetable broth
• 1 teaspoon of smoked paprika
• 1/2 teaspoon of salt
• 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper
• 1 (14-ounce) can of whole tomatoes, drained and finely chopped
• 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley

Instructions:

1. Heat the olive oil in a heavy-bottom pot over medium heat. Add the onion and red bell pepper, and cook until they are both soft and the onion is translucent, around 6 – 8 minutes.
2. Add the minced garlic and cook for an extra 30 seconds until fragrant.
3. Add the rice, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Cook, stirring constantly, until the rice is lightly toasted and has absorbed the spices, around 3 – 4 minutes.
4. Add the chopped tomatoes and broth. Bring to a gentle simmer, cover with a tight-fitting lid and reduce the heat to low.
5. Cook for around 18 – 20 minutes, or until the rice is tender and the liquid has been absorbed.
6. Turn off the heat. Fluff the rice with a fork, and stir in the fresh parsley before serving.
