Step 1
Using a medium-sized to a large pan, heat the olive oil on medium-high heat.
Step 2
Once the oil is ready, add finely chopped garlic and cook until fragrant.
Step 3
Add finely chopped onion and cook until it has softened.
Step 4
Add chopped tomatoes, salt, pepper, and chili flakes. Mix to combine. Cover the pan with a lid and cook until tomatoes are a bit mushy. This typically takes about 5 minutes.
Step 5
Remove the lid and add rice. Mix to coat the rice with the liquid in the pan.
Step 6
Pour the stock into the rice and add bay leaves. Mix and put the lid back on. Turn the heat up to medium-high and bring rice to a boil.
Step 7
Add parsley and mix. Cover and turn heat to low. Simmer for about 20 minutes or until the rice has cooked. Mix the rice a couple of times during this cooking time to make sure that nothing is sticking.
Step 8
Adjust the seasoning if needed. Mix and take tomato rice off the heat.
Step 9
Serve. Garnish with more parsley, if desired.
