By JAmero4702

Ingredients

• 2 tbs butter
• 1 tbs olive oil
• 1 onion, finely chopped
• 2 1/4 cups long grained white rice
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1/8 tsp white pepper
• 3 3/4 cups chicken broth, heated to boiling point.

Preparation

Step 1

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 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.
