Method
Step 1
In an enormous skillet over medium-high intensity, heat oil. Cook the garlic, carrots, bell pepper, and onions for about 7 minutes, stirring frequently, until the onions are translucent. Stir in the rice and tomato paste and cook for two to three minutes, or until the rice is toasted.
Step 2:
Add tomato sauce, broth, and diced tomatoes; Add salt, pepper, oregano, and cumin to the dish. Boil until boiling. Cover and lessen intensity to low. Cook for approximately 17 minutes, stirring occasionally, until rice is cooked through and liquid is absorbed.
