Method

1. Heat the oil in a thick-bottomed pan, add the onion and cook on medium heat until it is soft and translucent.
2. Add the garlic and cook for a further minute.
3. Stir in the rice, coating it with the oil.
4. Add the stock a ladle at a time for approximately 20 minutes until the rice is almost cooked.
