Steps:

CARAMELIZED ONION RICE



Caramelized Onion Rice image

I wanted a rice recipe that was easy and relatively quick to make brown rice more tasty. This is what I came up with. :-) I've used long-grain brown rice and brown basmati rice for this, but you could also use white rice. Great for any meal you would use rice in.

Categories     Brown Rice

Time 35m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 onion, thinly sliced
2 tablespoons butter
1 tablespoon brown sugar
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 cup brown rice
2 1/4 cups chicken broth

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.

Tips:

  • Use fresh cranberries for the best flavor. Frozen cranberries can be used in a pinch, but they will not be as tart or flavorful.
  • Caramelize the onions slowly over low heat. This will help them develop a deep, rich flavor.
  • Add the cranberries to the rice mixture just before serving. This will help them retain their shape and tartness.
  • Garnish the dish with fresh parsley or cilantro for a pop of color and flavor.

Conclusion:

This cranberry rice with caramelized onions is a delicious and easy-to-make side dish that is perfect for any occasion. It is a great way to use up leftover cranberries and is also a healthy and flavorful option. The caramelized onions add a touch of sweetness and depth of flavor to the dish, while the cranberries add a tart and tangy contrast. This dish is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
