This is a savory side for many meats. This is a very simple version that would appeal to a wide range of palates. Ingredients:
2 tablespoons butter |
2 cups uncooked basmati rice |
1 small onion, chopped |
4 cups water |
2 teaspoons salt |
2 whole cinnamon sticks |
1 large bay leaf |
Directions:
1. Melt the butter in a large saucepan over medium heat, and cook and stir the basmati rice and onion until the rice kernels are coated with butter and the onion is translucent, 5 to 8 minutes. The rice will give off a slightly toasted fragrance. Pour in water, and mix in salt, cinnamon sticks and bay leaf.
2. Bring the mixture to a boil, and reduce heat to medium-low. Cover the saucepan, and simmer the rice until all the water has disappeared and the rice appears dry, about 18 minutes. Fluff the rice with a fork and serve.
