Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.

In the same skillet, add onion and sauté until softened, about 3 minutes. Add garlic and cook 30 seconds more.

Remove from heat and let stand covered for 5 minutes. Fluff with a fork, garnish with parsley, and serve.
Pro Tips
💡
Do not lift the lid while the rice is cooking — steam is essential for perfectly tender rice.
💡
Rinse the rice until water runs clear to remove excess starch and prevent clumping.
💡
For extra depth, add a splash of Worcestershire sauce when you add the tomatoes.
