Good Rice (Arroz Bueno)

We have used this recipe for years, and it's still my favorite way to have rice. It's from the Columbia Restaurant cookbook.

Ingredients

• 1⁄2 cup butter
• 4  cups chicken broth
• 1⁄2 cup fresh basil, chopped
• 1⁄2 cup parsley, chopped
• 2  cups long-grain white rice, uncooked
• 1  large onion, chopped

1. Melt butter and saute onion until transparent. Add rice and stir constantly until it turns a caramel color.
