Very Yummy Rice Recipes

Steps:

• Heat olive oil in a non-stick saucepan over medium-high heat nearly to smoking. Cook and stir rice in the hot oil quickly to toast the rice, 2 to 3 minutes. Stir the onion into the rice; cook and stir 1 minute more. Pour chicken broth over the rice mixture, season with garlic salt, and bring to a boil; reduce heat to low, place a cover on the saucepan, and cook until the broth is absorbed and the rice is tender, about 20 minutes. Remove from heat and allow to rest 5 minutes before lifting the lid.

Steps:

• Melt butter in a 2-quart saucepan over medium heat. Add shallot and saute until tender. Add the rice and stir until the rice is glossy and coated with the butter. Season with salt and pepper, to taste, and add the warmed stock. Add the smashed garlic and sprigs of thyme. Cover with a tight fitting lid. Cook for 15 to 17 minutes.
• Remove the thyme and garlic. Fluff with a fork and add fresh chopped parsley.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 325 degrees.
• In a large frying pan, saute' onion in butter.
• Add uncooked rice and simmer 5 minutes.
• Pour all ingredients except almonds into a casserole (I use a casserole that is probably 12" square, but you can use a 13x9" one just as well.
• Bake 1 hour at 325 degrees.
• Stir in almonds when done.
