Basic Rice Pilaf

Instructions

Heat butter or oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat.

Add the chopped onion and sauté until soft and translucent, about 3-4 minutes.

Add the rice and stir frequently for 2-3 minutes until the rice is lightly toasted and coated in butter/oil.

Pour in the warm broth, add salt and pepper, and bring to a boil.

Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15-18 minutes, or until the liquid is absorbed and rice is tender.

Remove from heat and let it sit, covered, for 5 minutes.

Fluff the rice gently with a fork before serving.
