Étapes

Étape 1

Preparation of Ingredients

Chop the onion and garlic finely. Cut the tomatoes into small cubes. Set all these aside. This will ensure a smoother cooking process.

Étape 2

Cooking the Bacon

In a large pan over medium heat, add a drizzle of olive oil and cook the bacon until it starts to brown and become crispy. Remove any excess fat, leaving just enough to sauté the onions.

Étape 3

Sautéing Vegetables

Add the chopped onion and garlic to the pan with the bacon. Sauté until the onion becomes translucent and fragrant, stirring occasionally to prevent burning.

Étape 4

Adding the Tomatoes

Throw in the diced tomatoes and continue to cook everything together for about 5 minutes, allowing the tomatoes to break down slightly and meld with the other flavors.

Étape 5

Cooking the Rice

Add the rice to the pan, stirring well to coat it with the mixture. Add 4 cups of water or chicken broth gradually, stirring as you pour. Season with salt, pepper, and herbes de Provence. Allow it to simmer gently, covering the pan for around 15-20 minutes, until the rice absorbs the liquid and becomes tender.

Étape 6

Final Adjustments and Serving

Once the rice is fully cooked, taste and adjust the seasoning if necessary. Serve hot, garnishing with fresh herbs or cheese for an extra touch.
