Heat 2 tablespoons of the oil in a saucepan. Add the onion and garlic and cook for 1 minute.
Add the rice and stir for 2 minutes, then add the stock and bring to a boil.
Stir the rice, then cover the pan and simmer very gently, without lifting the lid, for about 12 minutes, or until the rice is just tender.
