Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup long-grain white rice
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1 medium onion, finely sliced
  • 2 cups beef broth (substitute vegetable broth for a vegetarian version)
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • 1/2 cup shredded Gruyère or mozzarella cheese
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Optional Substitutions:

  • Use brown rice for a nuttier flavor.
  • Substitute vegan butter and cheese for a plant-based option.

Instructions

Step 1: Caramelize the Onions

  • Melt butter in a medium-sized saucepan over medium heat.
  • Add the sliced onions and sauté for 8-10 minutes, stirring frequently, until golden and caramelized.

Step 2: Toast the Rice

  • Stir the rice into the saucepan, coating it with the buttery onions.
  • Cook for 1-2 minutes, letting the rice absorb the flavors.

Step 3: Add Liquids and Seasonings

  • Pour in the beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, and garlic powder. Stir to combine.

Step 4: Cook the Rice

  • Bring the mixture to a boil, reduce the heat to low, and cover.
  • Simmer for 18-20 minutes or until the rice is tender and the liquid is absorbed.

Step 5: Add Cheese and Garnish

  • Remove from heat and fluff the rice with a fork.
  • Stir in the shredded cheese until creamy and smooth.
  • Garnish with fresh parsley and serve hot.

Equipment

Notes

  • For perfectly caramelized onions, be patient and stir often to avoid burning.
  • Use freshly grated cheese for optimal melting.
  • Prefer a richer flavor? Add a splash of cream when mixing in the cheese.
