# What You'll Need:
→ Main Components
01 -
2 large onions, sliced thin
02 -
1 cup white rice (long-grain), rinsed under water
03 -
2 cups of broth (vegetable or beef, pick your favorite)
→ Seasonings & Fats
04 -
1 tablespoon olive oil
05 -
1/4 cup butter (unsalted)
06 -
1 teaspoon garlic powder spice
07 -
Salt and freshly ground pepper as needed
→ Toppings
08 -
Chopped parsley for garnish
# Steps to Follow:
01 -
Heat the butter and olive oil together in a big pan over medium heat. Toss in those thin onion slices to start the browning magic.
02 -
Let the onions cook for about 20-25 minutes, giving them a stir every now and then, until they’re soft and golden. Sprinkle salt and pepper as you go.
03 -
As the onions cook, rinse the rice until the water’s clear. Boil the broth in a medium-sized pot, throw in the rice, then put a lid on and drop the heat to low.
04 -
Let the pot simmer for 15-18 minutes, keeping the lid on. The rice should soak up all the broth and be tender at the finish.
05 -
When the rice is ready, fold in the caramelized onions and garlic powder. Stir, taste, and adjust the salt or pepper as needed.
06 -
Scoop it into a serving dish, scatter some chopped parsley on top, and serve warm. Enjoy the comforting flavors!
# Additional Notes:
01 -
For extra creaminess, mix in shredded Gruyère or Swiss cheese right at the end.
02 -
If you’d like, swap out beef broth for veggie broth for a meat-free switch.
03 -
Store leftovers for up to 3 days, and reheat them with a little extra broth.
