• Saute rice in butter just until translucent and very lightly browned.
• Add chopped onion, and continue sauteing until onion is translucent, stirring frequently to prevent onion from burning.
• Drain any excess butter or olive oil.

• If all liquid is not absorbed, remove cover, and continue cooking for another 5 minutes.
• Fluff gently with a fork just before serving.
• Variation: Lightly brown orzo or broken pasta in butter and/or olive oil before adding rice.
