Directions
Wash rice and leave to soak for half an hour.
Allow to drain.
Heat oil in a pot and fry onion until it becomes translucent.
Add bay leaves, cinnamon, salt, pepper and rice.
Cook until the rice grains become opaque, stirring occasionally.
Add peas and stir together until the peas are well coated in oil.
Add 4 cups water or stock. Bring to a boil, cover and simmer over a low heat until the rice is tender (15 to 20 minutes).
Serve with the garnish.
