Story:

• This is the white rice I grew up eating for many meals, made by my father and his parents. Great for the saucy stews and braises my grandparents love making!

Ingredients:

• olive oil
• 1/4-1/2 yellow or white onion, diced
• pinch salt
• 1 cup long-grain white rice (basmati and jasmine also work great)
• 1 1/4 cups water

Instructions:

• Take some diced onion and fry it in a pot on medium.
• Once onion turns translucent, add rice and mix well.
• Fry, stirring frequently, until rice has turned translucent and then opaque again (or starts browning).
• Add water and stir well, then cover. Once water is just starting to bubble, turn on very low and cook 20 minutes.
• Turn off heat and fluff.
