Method

1. Wash the rice well and soak it in hot water for half an hour; in a pot, put a little oil and fry the chopped onion and garlic
2. When they soften, add the stock cube and seasonings and stir well
3. Add the grated carrot and sauté until soft, then add the peeled chopped tomato, hot pepper, spices and salt and stir
4. Then add the boiling water and the drained rice
5. Leave them on high heat until the water dries without stirring; when the water level is at the rice—i.e., the surface of the rice is dry—reduce the heat and cover the pot
6. Leave for 15 minutes or until the vegetable rice is cooked
