Brown Rice With Caramelized Onions And Black Garlic Recipes

CARAMELIZED ONION RICE

Steps:

• Melt butter in skillet and sauté onions until softened and lightly browned. Add garlic, sauté 1 minute.
• Add brown sugar and sauté until caramelized-looking, 3-4 minutes.
• Mix rice, broth and onion mixture and cook in rice cooker.
• 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.

BROWN RICE WITH CARAMELIZED ONIONS AND BLACK GARLIC

Steps:

• Pour 3 tbsp/50ml of oil into a large saute pan with a lid, and place over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the onions, along with 1/4 tsp salt, and fry for 12 minutes, stirring occasionally to make sure they don't burn. Add the lemon peel and cook for another 12 minutes, continuing to stir from time to time, until the onions are dark and caramelized. Transfer to a plate and set aside.
• Add the remaining 1 tbsp plus 1 tsp of oil to the pan, then add the rice and 1/2 tsp of salt. Fry for 1 minute, stirring continuously, then pour in the water. Bring to a boil, then decrease the heat to medium-low. Cover the pan and simmer for about 45 minutes, until cooked through. Remove from the heat and stir in the onions, lemon juice and black garlic. Serve at once, topping each serving with a generous spoonful of the yogurt and sprinkle of parsley. Alternatively, you can serve the yogurt in a bowl on the side.
