Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 4 large onion thinly sliced, yellow
- 2 cloves garlic finely minced
The Rice
- 2 cups basmati rice rinsed
- 3 cups chicken broth see notes
- ½ teaspoon salt sea salt
- 1 cup Parmesan Cheese grated
- 1 cup gruyere cheese grated
Instructions
- Heat the butter and olive oil in a large frying pan over medium heat. Add the onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until the onion is translucent, about 3 minutes. Turn the heat down to low and continue to cook until the onions are deep golden and caramelized, about 15-20 minutes. Add the garlic and cook for 1 minute more.
- While the onions are cooking, start the rice. Add the basmati, chicken broth, and salt to a medium-sized pot over high heat. Bring the pot to a boil then reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and cook for 12 minutes. Remove the pot from the heat and let it rest, covered, for 10 minutes.
- Set a scoop of the onions aside for serving and then stir the rest into the rice. Add both the cheeses and stir again.
- Serve the rice with the reserved caramelized onions on top.
Notes
- Note 1: You can use vegetable stock if you want to make this recipe vegetarian.
- Note 2: To complete the meal, try serving this with my Italian seasoning chicken and a spring mix salad.
- Note 3: I've made this a larger serving size (it serves 8) because leftovers are fantastic, and we'd really like to have extra to reheat the next day for an easy dinner.
