For the rice, in a pot with hot olive oil, sauté the onion while stirring until it begins to turn transparent. Add the previously drained rice and mix. Cook until the grains begin to look shiny, then add the carrot, peas, and zucchini, and incorporate. Pour in the chicken broth, add the broccoli, cilantro, season with salt and pepper; cook on low heat until the liquid starts to boil. Cover and cook for 15 minutes, remember that the heat should be low; otherwise, the rice might burn, and you shouldn’t stir it to avoid crushing the grains. Set aside.
