2 cups Long-grain Jasmine Rice or Basmati

1 Tablespoon Butter (or olive oil)

1 Medium onion (yellow), small dice

3 Cups of Chicken or vegetable broth

1 Teaspoon Kosher Salt

1/2 Teaspoon pepper

1 Teaspoon of Fresh Parsley

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350’ F
Melt the butter in a saucepan
Sweat onions until soft and translucent, avoid to brown them
Add the rice and stir so it’s completely coated in the hot fat
Add in the boiling stock and bring the mixture back to a boil
Season with salt and cover with a foil
Bake the covered saucepan in a 350’ F oven for 20 min. All the liquid should be fully absorbed and completely dried with firefly texture.

Transfer the finished rice to a bowl and fluff with a fork to release steam and prevent further cooking
Adjust seasoning and serve, adding a bit of unsalted butter if desired
