Prep Time: 15 minutes
Cook Time: 25 minutes
Total Time: 40 minutes
Ingredients:
- 2 Tbsp. butter
- 1 Tbsp. olive oil
- 1 onion, finely chopped
- 2-1/4 cups long grain white rice
- 1/2 tsp. salt
- 1/8 tsp. white pepper
- 3-3/4 cups chicken broth, heated to boiling point
Preparation:
In heavy saucepan, melt butter and olive oil over medium heat. Add onion and cook, stirring frequently, until onion is translucent, about 5 minutes. Add rice and stir until the rice is coated with the butter. This will take 2-4 minutes; don't rush this step!
Season with salt and pepper, then add the hot chicken broth all at once. Cover and cook on medium-low heat for 15 minutes. Check the rice; if all the liquid is absorbed and the rice is tender, it's done. If the rice isn't quite tender, cover pan and cook for 2-3 minutes longer. Fluff with a fork and serve. Serves 6
