Ingredients:

2 x onions, coarsely chopped
30 ml (2 tablespoons) olive oil
2 cloves garlic, chopped
1 stick cinnamon
1 x star anise pod

Directions:

In a large skillet over medium heat, brown the onions in the oil. Season with salt and pepper.

Add the garlic, spices and rice. Continue cooking for 1 minute, stirring to coat the rice with the oil.
