Step 2

Cooking spices in hot oil helps unlock their full flavor potential. This process is called blooming, and it's a game changing for building flavor. This only takes 1 to 2 minutes--any longer and you run the risk of the burning the spices.

Step 3

Stir in the rice and let it cook for about 2 minutes, which helps deepen its flavor.

Step 4

The rice will begin turning translucent and smell super aromatic.

Step 5

Add tomatoes, beans, and broth.

Step 6

Simmer the mixture for about 25 minutes, or until the liquid is absorbed and rice is tender.

Step 7

Lastly, scatter the olives overtop and drizzle with parsley oil, if desired!
