Preparation
Cook the rice
- Halve, peel and small-dice the onion.
- In a medium pot, heat a drizzle of oil on medium.
- Add ⅔ of the onion and sauté, 3 to 4 min., until fragrant and beginning to brown.
- Add the rice, 1 ½ cups water (double for 4 portions) and a big pinch of salt; bring to a boil.
- Reduce the heat, cover and simmer, 14 to 16 min., until the rice is tender and the water has been absorbed.

Mise en place

- Add the remaining onion and sauté, 2 to 3 min., until fragrant.
- Add the tomatoes, garlic, olives and 2 tbsp butter (double for 4 portions).
