Method

STEP 1
Heat oil in a heavy based saucepan over medium-low heat. Add onion and cook for 6 minutes or until softened but not coloured. Add frozen Birds Eye Garlic and cook for a further 2 minutes.
STEP 2
Add rice and stir for an extra minute to coat in oil. Increase heat to medium, add half the hot stock and stir occasionally until the majority of stock is absorbed, approximately 6 minutes. Add the remaining stock and stir occasionally until rice is almost completely cooked, approximately 12 minutes.
