1

Rinse rice under cold water until water runs clear. Drain and set aside.

2

Dice onion, bell pepper, and carrots into uniform pieces. Mince garlic and ginger.

3

Heat coconut oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Add diced protein and cook until lightly browned, 4–5 minutes. Remove and set aside.

4

In the same pot, sauté onion and garlic for 2 minutes until fragrant. Add ginger, paprika, and cumin; stir for 30 seconds.

5

Add bell pepper and carrots; stir for 2 minutes. Pour in canned tomatoes and vegetable broth.

6

Return cooked protein to the pot. Bring mixture to a boil, then stir in the rinsed rice.

7

Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer until rice is tender and liquid is absorbed, 25–30 minutes. Do not stir during cooking.

Remove from heat and let stand covered for 5 minutes. Fluff with a fork. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
