No Zee French Rice Pilaf

Chef PotPie's Note:

This is a really tasty rice pilaf that you can't go wrong trying! I've made it my own over the years.

• Total Time: 40 mins
• Prep Time: 10 mins
• Cook Time: 30 mins

Ingredients:

Servings: 4

• 4 tablespoons butter
• 1 medium onion, chopped
• 4 garlic cloves, minced
• 1 cup long grain white rice
• 2 cups chicken stock or 2 cups broth
• salt
• 1/2 cup grated cheese like parmesan cheese, but don't be afraid, gruyere, manchego, all cheese is worthy of worship

Directions:

1. In 3 quart pan melt butter and saute onion and garlic until onion is limp.
2. Add the 1 cup rice and continue to cook for 10 minutes or so, being careful to stir, until grains of rice are lightly browned and look opaque.
3. Pour in chicken broth, bring to boil, cover and reduce heat and simmer for about 20 minutes, or until rice is tender, stirring a few times.
4. Stir in cheese! Add salt to taste before serving.

No Zee Pilaf, heh? I made it with gruyere and it was excellent. BTW, I love how some people with accents can say anything and get away with it. 8-) Made for ZWT#8~France.
