Ingredients
- 1/3 cup butter
- 1/2 medium yellow onion finely diced
- 1 1/2 cups long grain white rice
- 3 cups good quality chicken stock* or vegetable broth
- salt & pepper to taste
- 2-3 bay leaves
Instructions
- Melt butter over medium heat in large saucepan. Add in onion and saute gently for 5-6 minutes. Stir in rice grains to coat in butter.
- Pour in remaining ingredients. Cover, bring to boil, then reduce heat to low and cook 5 minutes less than what is listed on rice package directions {should be about 15 minutes.}
- Turn heat off rice, but keep on the hot burner for 10 minutes to steam and prevent scorching. Fluff rice with a fork, remove bay leaves, and serve as desired. Top with dried parsley flakes {optional}.
Notes
*I like the stocks in a box, but the bouillon pastes and powdered cubes work great too! You just have to be careful about the sodium levels. Taste as you go and don't add too much salt.
