	-2-3 cloves of garlic, finely chopped

		-2 cups of rice -4 cups of chicken broth (2 1/2 if you are using basmati rice) -1 tsp. oregano -1 tsp. paprika - saffron (about .1 grams, less if you want it less flavorful) -1 or 2 red peppers, sliced whatever "cooked" goodies you'd like, I use: cubed, grilled chicken, slices of sausage, sliced beef, shrimp, scallops and fish. But, you can add all the seafood you'd like, or you have at hand (it's a great leftover dish). Anyway, here's what you do: Fry the onions in oil until golden, add the uncooked rice and fry until shiny. Add the broth, oregano, paprika, garlic and red peppers. Powder the saffron (I use a mortar) and mix it with a little bit of broth. Add it to the rice and mix well. Bring to a boil, and then simmer for about 15 minutes. You can do this either inside the oven (about 350 F) or on the stove top. I prefer the latter, as it's easier to check. Add the goodies and cook for an additional 10 minutes or until the rice is done.
