Οδηγίες

Heat a 2-3 quart saucepan with a tight-fitting lid, or dutch oven over medium heat.

Add oil and onion to the pot and sweat the onions for 3-4 minutes, or until they are translucent.

Add garlic, tomato paste, paprika and oregano. Sauté, stirring frequently for 3 minutes, until the tomato paste starts to brown.

Add the rinsed jasmine rice and stir. Allow rice to toast, stirring frequently for about 1 minute.

Add the vegetable stock and stir. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce heat to low and place the lid onto the pot. Set a timer for 12 minutes.

Once 12 minutes have elapsed, remove the pot from heat, but don't open the lid. Set another timer for 10 minutes and allow the rice to steam in the residual heat. (See Note) After 10 minutes have elapsed, add the lime juice, fluff with a fork, garnish with cilantro and serve.
