Preparation method
- Peel and finely chop the onion
- Wash the parsley, dry it well, and chop coarsely
- Pour a little more than 2 cups of water into a kettle and bring to a simmer over low heat
- Heat a medium saucepan over low heat
- Add the olive oil and chopped onion
- Season with a pinch of salt and sauté for approximately 2 minutes until the onion is soft
- Add the bay leaf and rice to the saucepan
- Stir continuously for 1 minute to ensure the grains are coated with olive oil
- This process helps keep the rice fluffy after cooking
- Measure exactly 2 cups of boiling water and add to the rice
- Season with the remaining salt and mix well
- Increase the heat to medium
- Avoid stirring from this point on
- When the water reaches the level of the grains, reduce the heat and partially cover the saucepan
- Cook until all the water is absorbed
- Check if the bottom of the saucepan is dry by using a fork to move the grains aside
- Turn off the heat
- Keep the saucepan covered for 5 minutes to finish cooking in the steam
- Use a fork to loosen the grains, incorporate the chopped parsley, and mix gently
- Serve immediately
