Start by rinsing the rice under cold water until the water runs clear, which takes about 2 minutes.

2

In a pot, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat for about 1 minute.

3

Add the rinsed rice to the pot and stir it around in the oil for about 2 minutes until it's slightly toasted.

4

Pour in 2 cups of vegetable broth and bring it to a boil. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and let it simmer for about 15 minutes until the rice is cooked and has absorbed the liquid.

5

While the rice is cooking, dice the tomatoes and mozzarella into small cubes.

6

Once the rice is done, remove it from heat and let it sit covered for 5 minutes.

7

Fluff the rice with a fork and mix in the diced tomatoes, mozzarella, and salt and pepper. Tear the basil leaves and add them as well.
