A vibrant and flavorful rice dish perfect for any meal.
Heat the olive oil in a saucepan over medium heat until shimmering.
Ensure the oil is hot enough to sizzle when adding the onion.
Add the chopped onion and minced garlic to the saucepan, stirring occasionally until the onion becomes translucent.
Avoid browning the garlic to prevent a bitter taste.
Stir in the rice and cook, stirring frequently, until it turns opaque.
Toasting the rice enhances its nutty flavor.
Mix in the crushed tomatoes, ground annatto seeds, bay leaf, and chicken broth. Stir well to combine.
Ensure the annatto is evenly distributed for consistent coloring.
Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and cover the saucepan. Let it simmer until the liquid is absorbed and the rice is tender.
Check occasionally to ensure the rice doesn't stick to the bottom.
Remove from heat, fluff the rice with a fork, and serve warm.
Fluffing the rice prevents clumping and enhances texture.
