Preparation

Step 1

In a small skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat. Add onion and garlic; cook, stirring, until onion is golden, about 5 minutes.
Add rice and sauté for 1 minute.
Add broth, and season with salt and pepper to taste; bring to a boil. Cover and reduce heat to low.
Simmer until rice is tender and most of the liquid is absorbed, about 45-50 minutes. Check rice occasionally and add water if necessary.
Uncover and let rice stand for 5 minutes before serving.
