Good Rice

The next time you're thinking about rice for dinner as a side dish, think about Good Rice. It is exactly what the name implies. It was given to me by a Cuban lady in the 80's. This dish had a Spanish name that I have long forgotten. Being the creative person that I am I simply call it Good Rice. Good Rice is good and good with everything. How corny is that.

Good Rice

Salt to taste

Melt butter and saute onion until transparent. Add rice and stir constantly until it turns a caramel color. Add chicken broth/stock, then parsley, basil and salt. Bring to a boil and lower flame. Cover and steam rice for 18 minutes. Fluff with a large two-tined fork.
