Instructions

Combine the rice, water, and 1/2 tsp salt in a medium saucepan and bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce the heat to the lowest setting, cover tightly, and cook until the water is fully absorbed and the rice is tender, about 18 minutes. Remove from heat and let sit, covered, for 5 minutes, then fluff with a fork.

While the rice cooks, heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat until shimmering. Add the onion and bell pepper and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened and the onion is translucent, about 6–7 minutes.
