CARAMELIZED ONION RICE
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.

- 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.

- Add the water, green lentils, and salt to the large pot. Bring to a boil.

RICE COOKED IN ONIONS
Steps:
- Bring saucepan of water to boil, and salt it. Add rice, stirring occasionally, until it loses translucence, about 5 minutes.
- While rice cooks melt 3 tablespoons butter over medium heat in a broad, deep skillet or casserole that can be covered. Add onions, a large pinch of salt and some pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until onions just begin to soften, about 5 minutes.
- Drain rice, leaving it wet. Add to onions along with saffron. Stir, turn heat to minimum and cover. Cook, stirring occasionally, about 45 minutes, or until onions are very soft and rice is cooked through. Don't stir for final 10 or 15 minutes, so bottom browns a bit.
- Add shrimp. Stir, cover again and cook until done, 5 to 10 minutes. Taste, and adjust seasoning. Stir in heavy cream and remaining butter, if they are being used. Heat through once more, turn off heat and let sit 10 minutes or so. Dish will retain heat for at least half an hour, and can be reheated gently. Garnish with parsley, and serve.

- Cover and turn heat to medium/low cooking until liquid is absorbed, about 15-20 minutes.

Tips:
- Use long grain rice for this recipe. They hold their shape better and won't get mushy. - Rinse the rice thoroughly before cooking to remove any starch and impurities. - Use a heavy-bottomed pot to cook the rice. This will ensure that the heat is evenly distributed and the rice cooks evenly. - Don't stir the rice while it's cooking. Stirring can break up the rice grains and make them mushy. - Let the rice rest for 5 minutes after cooking before fluffing it with a fork. This will help the rice absorb any remaining moisture and prevent it from sticking together.Conclusion:
