Ingredients
- 1 cup long grain white rice
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 large yellow onion sliced thin
- 2 cups low sodium chicken broth
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 clove garlic minced
- Chopped parsley for garnish
Instructions
- Rinse the rice under cold water until the water runs clear. Set aside to drain.
- In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter with the olive oil.
- Add the sliced onions and a pinch of salt. Cook, stirring occasionally, for 15 to 20 minutes until the onions are soft and golden brown. They should be deeply caramelized but not burned.
- Add the minced garlic and cook for 1 more minute until fragrant.
- Stir in the rice and cook for 2 to 3 minutes, allowing it to absorb the flavors and slightly toast.
- Pour in the chicken broth, then add salt and pepper. Stir once to combine.
- Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover the pan, and let it simmer for 15 minutes or until the rice is tender and the liquid is absorbed.
- Turn off the heat and let the rice sit covered for 5 more minutes.
- Fluff the rice with a fork and garnish with chopped parsley before serving.
