Heat the olive oil in a large pot or deep skillet over medium heat.

Step 2

Add the diced onion and cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until softened.

Step 3

Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another 1 minute, until fragrant.

Step 6

Bring the mixture to a gentle boil, then reduce the heat to low and cover the pot with a tight-fitting lid.

Step 7

Simmer for 18-20 minutes, or until the rice is tender and the liquid has been absorbed.

Step 8

Remove the pot from the heat and let it sit, covered, for 5 minutes.
