Description

Golden Onion Butter Rice is a flavorful and aromatic dish made with long-grain white rice, sautéed onions, and a blend of spices, perfect as a side or main dish.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups long-grain white rice
  • 4 cups chicken broth (or vegetable broth)
  • 1 medium onion, finely chopped
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon turmeric (for color)
  • 1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)

Instructions

  1. In a large saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until golden brown, about 5-7 minutes. Stir occasionally to prevent burning.
  2. Once the onions are golden, add the garlic powder, salt, black pepper, and turmeric. Stir for about 1 minute until fragrant.
  3. Add the rice to the saucepan and stir to coat the rice with the butter and onion mixture. Cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring frequently.
  4. Pour in the chicken broth and bring to a boil. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover the saucepan, and simmer for 18-20 minutes, or until the rice is tender and the liquid is absorbed.
  5. Remove the saucepan from heat and let it sit, covered, for an additional 5 minutes. Fluff the rice with a fork before serving.
  6. If desired, garnish with fresh parsley before serving.

Notes

  • For added flavor, consider sautéing some diced bell peppers or mushrooms along with the onions.
  • To make this dish a complete meal, add cooked chicken, shrimp, or vegetables of your choice before serving.
