Add the onions, garlic, and bell pepper; braise lightly, until they whiter. Cover with water and cook for 30 minutes, without the lid, so the broth can reduce until it almost dries out. Add the rice, braise lightly and cover with 4 teacups of boiling water. Season with salt and a dash of black pepper and cook until the rice is soft. Garnish with the scallions and parsley and serve.
