Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 2 medium Yellow onion, thinly sliced
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 2 cups White rice (long-grain or jasmine)
- 2.5 cups Beef broth (or vegetable broth for a vegetarian option)
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 cup Shredded Gruyère cheese (optional, for garnish)
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Start by heating the butter in a large skillet over medium heat.
Once the butter has melted, add the thinly sliced onions and cook, stirring frequently, for 20-25 minutes, or until the onions are golden brown and caramelized.
Add the minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for another 1-2 minutes until fragrant. Remove from heat.
Rinse the rice under cold water until the water runs clear to remove excess starch, and then drain well.
In the bowl of your rice cooker, combine the rinsed rice, caramelized onions and garlic, beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and black pepper. Stir to mix everything evenly.
Close the rice cooker lid and use the "white rice" or "regular rice" setting to cook. This should take about 40 minutes, depending on your rice cooker model.
When the rice is finished cooking, fluff it with a fork, taste, and adjust seasoning if needed.
For optional garnishes, sprinkle shredded Gruyère cheese over the rice while still hot and allow it to melt. Finish with a sprinkle of chopped parsley for freshness.
Serve the French Onion Rice warm as a side dish or main course. Enjoy!
