INSTRUCTIONS

❶	Step 1: Prepare Your Ingredients
	Begin by chopping the onion, garlic, bell pepper, and tomato. Keep everything within easy reach while you cook.
❷	Step 2: Sauté the Onion and Garlic
	Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Once the oil is warm, add the chopped onions. Cook them for 3-4 minutes until they soften and become translucent. Next, add the minced garlic and cook for another minute, stirring often.
❸	Step 3: Add the Vegetables
	Stir in the diced bell pepper and chopped tomato. Let them cook for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they start to soften and release their juices.
❹	Step 4: Season Everything
	Sprinkle the cumin, paprika, black pepper, and salt over the vegetables. Stir well to coat everything evenly, letting the spices mingle with the veggies for about 2 minutes.
❺	Step 5: Add the Rice and Broth
	Pour in 1 cup of rice and give it a good stir to mix with the vegetables and spices. Then, add 2 cups of vegetable broth. Bring the mixture to a boil, then lower the heat, cover the pot, and let it simmer for 15-18 minutes, or until the rice is fully cooked and has absorbed all the liquid.
❻	Step 6: Stir in the Peas
	Once the rice is cooked, stir in the frozen peas and let them heat through for 2-3 minutes. Taste the dish and adjust the seasoning if necessary.
❼	Step 7: Serve and Enjoy!
