Step 1: Aromatics

Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add onions and garlic and cook until soft.

Step 2: Rice Time

Reduce heat to low and add rice. Make sure the rice doesn't burn by stirring for 3-5 minutes.

Step 3: Tomato Time

Add chillies and tomatoes. Stir and cook for 2-3 minutes.

Finally, add broth, sea salt, and cumin. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low, cover and simmer for 10 to 15 minutes until rice is done. If necessary, add more broth.
