- Heat the oil in a lidded frying pan over a medium heat. Fry the onion for 3 mins. Add the garlic and red pepper; fry for 2 mins, stirring. Stir in the cinnamon, oregano and tomato purée; cook for 30 secs, then add the rice and stir until coated.
- Add the vegetable stock and tomatoes; bring to a simmer. Cover, reduce the heat to low until the stock is gently bubbling, then cook for 15 mins.
- Stir the olives through the pilaf, return the lid to the pan and cook for another 3 mins. Remove from the heat and leave to rest for 5 mins.
- Stir through most of the parsley, then season and scatter with the remaining parsley. Serve with lemon wedges for squeezing over, if you like.
