Dice onion and bell pepper. Finely grate or dice the garlic.
Heat up the olive oil in a pot on the stove top on medium heat.
Add onion to the pot, and sauté for a few minutes, until the onion is soft and translucent.
Add garlic, seasoning and peppers to the pot. Sauté for a further minute.
Wash the rice under running water, and add it to the pot along with the chicken stock.
Cover the pot with a lid, and bring the rice to a boil. Leave it to boil for 1-2 minutes, then turn the heat completely off. Leave the pot to sit on the warm surface for about 10 minutes. The rice will cook in the steam.
Add frozen peas to the rice, and stir to combine. Cover with a lid, and leave for 1-2 minutes. The peas will thaw.
Optionally, season the rice with salt and pepper, then serve.
- Substitute chicken stock with vegetable stock for a vegan version of the dish.
- Store leftovers in a sealed container in a refrigerator for up to 3 days.
