Steps

30 min

1

Heat a small paella pan or a large skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil.
2

Peel the garlic, removing only the white skin, and wash and slice the bell pepper into strips.
3

Once the oil is hot, add the garlic and bell pepper. Sauté, then remove them and set aside in a bowl.
4

Add the cocido broth to the pan and bring it to a boil. Add the rice, a pinch of food coloring or saffron, optional pepper, and a little salt. Taste the broth first (you can add more salt up to ten minutes before it's done).
5

Boil for 10 minutes, then add the garlic to the center and arrange the bell pepper on top.
6

Continue boiling for another 6 to 7 minutes, until the broth is absorbed.

Tip: If you want the rice to be fluffier, cover with aluminum foil for 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy!
