Start off this recipe by heating olive oil in a pan over medium heat.
Next, Sauté onions and garlic until translucent.
Next, add bell pepper and cook until softened.
After that, stir in rice, ensuring it's well-coated with the vegetable mixture.
Pour in tomato sauce, chicken or vegetable broth, paprika, saffron (if using), salt, and pepper. Mix well.
Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15-20 minutes or until the rice is tender.
Once cooked, fluff the rice with a fork, garnish with fresh parsley, and serve hot.
