INGREDIENTS:

  • 2 Cups Chicken Stock
  • 1 Bay Leaf
  • 2 Thyme Sprigs
  • 5 Black Peppercorns
  • 2 Tablespoons Butter
  • 1 Cup White Basmati or Camargue Rice, rinsed

DIRECTIONS:

  1. Preheat oven to 300ºF. Bring stock to boil in medium saucepan. Reduce heat to low to maintain a simmer. Wrap thyme, bay leaf and peppercorns in kitchen cloth or coffee filter and tie with string, then add to simmering stock. Heat butter in a large oven-safe pan, and add onion. Cook, stirring until onion looks translucent. Add rinsed rice, and cook, stirring, until grains are opaque.
