Directions:
- In a large saucepan with a lid, heat the extra virgin olive oil & add the shallots and onions.
- Stir until softened/translucent then add the garlic. Finally, stir in the rice until well coated/mixed with the oil and onions.
- Add the broth and stir.
- Once it boils: reduce heat to a simmer and cover the saucepan with a lid.
- Simmer for ~ 20 mins.
- Turn off the heat and leave it covered for at least another 10 mins so it can fluff up.
- In a separate bowl: mix in all the vegetables.
- Before serving, top over the rice and mix in. OR: add the vegetables to the rice before adding the broth and have them cook with the rice if you prefer everything warm/sautéed.
- You can also add a pinch of pickled Spanish red onions to the fresh salsa rice topper for a little kick.
