- 1/2 cup minced yellow onion
- 1 cup uncooked medium grain rice
Procedure
- In a saucepan, bring chicken broth, salt and pepper to a low simmer, keep warm until needed.
- In 8" x 8" x 2" an oven proof dish (or 10" quiche dish), heat oil and butter in microwave for 2-minutes.
- Add minced onion to the oven proof dish, stir to coat with oil, cook in microwave for 4-minutes.
