Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 375 degrees.

In a dutch oven, heat the avocado oil. Add onion and saute for 5 minutes (until onions are tender but not brown).

Add the rice to the onions and saute until onions become opaque in color.

While rice is cooking, in a saucepan bring vegetable stock, vermouth, bayleaf and thyme to a boil. Pour over rice. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Add parley. Stir once. Cover with a lid and place in the oven.

Bake for 5 minutes at 375 degrees, then reduce heat to 350 degrees and continue to bake for an additional 15 minutes.
