Description

A comforting dish that elevates simple rice with the rich flavors of caramelized onions and butter.


Ingredients

  • 1 cup rice
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 2 large onions, sliced
  • 2 cups vegetable or chicken broth
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Optional: grated cheese for topping


Instructions

  1. In a large skillet, melt butter over medium heat.
  2. Add the sliced onions and cook, stirring frequently, until they are caramelized and golden brown, about 15-20 minutes.
  3. Stir in the rice and cook for 1-2 minutes to toast.
  4. Pour in the broth and bring to a boil.
  5. Reduce heat to low, cover, and let simmer for about 18-20 minutes, or until the rice is tender and the liquid is absorbed.
  6. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  7. Optional: sprinkle with grated cheese before serving.

Notes

For enhanced flavor, consider using homemade broth. Fresh herbs like thyme or parsley can be added for a hint of freshness.
