Step 1
Prepare all the ingredients. Olives can be omitted, but they add a bold, tangy flavor. If possible, use bell peppers of different colors for a more visually appealing dish.
Step 2
Peel the onion and garlic. Cut the bell peppers in half and remove the seeds. Rinse all vegetables and pat them dry with a paper towel.

Step 3
Finely dice the onion. Heat a little vegetable oil in a frying pan and sauté the onion until translucent.
Step 4
Cut the bell peppers into cubes and crush or finely chop the garlic. Add them to the onion and cook over medium heat, stirring, for about 5-7 minutes.
Step 5
Rinse the rice several times until the water runs clear. Cook it almost to readiness according to the package instructions. Both short-grain and long-grain rice work for this recipe. Transfer the cooked rice to a large mixing bowl.
