Basmati Rice

I love this rice! This is adapted from a recipe by Ina Garten. It serves 8 people.

What You'll Need:

2 tbsp olive oil or unsalted butter

2 small yellow onions, chopped (if you're not an onion fan, go with just one)

2 cups long grain basmati rice

3 1/2 cups water

1 tbsp kosher salt

1/2 cup sliced scallions

2 tbsp minced fresh parsley

How To Make It:

Cook the butter or oil and onions over medium heat until translucent, about 3 minutes. Add the rice and toss to coat the grains with butter (or oil.) Add the water and salt; cover and cook until the water is absorbed and the rice is tender, about 15-20 minutes. Turn off the heat and let the rice sit uncovered for 5-10 minutes. Add the scallions and parsley and fluff with a fork.
