1 carrot, finely chopped

1 bunch of fresh spring onions, finely chopped

5-6 dried figs, thinly sliced

5-6 sage leaves (dried) or 2-3 fresh leaves

Salt, pepper,olive oil

Directions

After thoroughly rinsing the rice until the water runs clear, we let it drain. In a pot, we heat a little olive oil and saute our spring onions. We add the figs, bell peppers, and carrots, and stir. Then we add the vegetable broth or water and season with salt and pepper. We lower the heat and let it simmer for about fifteen minutes until the rice absorbs all the liquid and small holes appear on the surface of the rice. At this stage, we remove it from the heat and let it rest, covered with a towel, for 5-10 minutes.
