Ingredients

¼ cup olive oil

Method

Heat oil in a large pot and add the chopped bacon and onion. Cook until onion is translucent and the bacon begins to brown. Then add garlic and raisins and cook for 1 additional minute.
Add rice and stir well. (If cooking the rice in a rice cooker, cook the rice with water separately and follow all others steps.) Season with salt and pepper; pour the hot water and mix. Reduce heat, cover and simmer until rice is cooked and dry. Mix well with a fork.
To serve, pour into a round mold, then turn upside down on a platter for the final presentation. Garnish with toasted almonds.
