Caramelized Onion Rice

akgrown's Note:

I wanted a rice recipe that was easy and relatively quick to make brown rice more tasty. This is what I came up with. :-) I've used long-grain brown rice and brown basmati rice for this, but you could also use white rice. Great for any meal you would use rice in.

• Total Time: 35 mins
• Prep Time: 10 mins
• Cook Time: 25 mins

Ingredients:

Servings: 4

• 1 onion, thinly sliced
• 2 tablespoons butter
• 1 tablespoon brown sugar
• 2 garlic cloves, minced
• 1 cup brown rice
• 2 1/4 cups chicken broth

Directions:

1. Melt butter in skillet and sauté onions until softened and lightly browned. Add garlic, sauté 1 minute.
2. Add brown sugar and sauté until caramelized-looking, 3-4 minutes.
3. Mix rice, broth and onion mixture and cook in rice cooker.
4. Note: I like my rice slightly crunchy and not soggy so if you like yours softer add 1/4- 1/2 cup of extra broth.

My fiance and I LOVE LOVE LOVE this recipe!!! We first tried it a little less than a month ago and have made it 3 or 4 times. It is the best rice recipe ever.

I thought this was a delicious way to make brown rice a little special. I halved the recipe for two of us, but used 1 1/2 cups broth. I omitted the sugar; I think caramelized onions have their own sweetness.
