Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups Basic Chicken Stock 1 tablespoon unsalted butter 1/4 cup minced onion 1 small dried bay leaf 1/2 teaspoon coarse salt 1 cup long-grain white rice

Directions

Heat oven to 350 degrees. Bring stock to a simmer in a small saucepan.

Melt butter in a 2-quart ovenproof saucepan over medium heat. Add onion, bay leaf, and salt and cook until onion is soft and translucent, stirring occasionally, about 3 minutes.

Add rice and stir well to coat each grain with butter mixture. Cook until rice is fragrant and starting to turn translucent, stirring frequently, about 3 minutes.

Add stock and return to a simmer. Transfer to oven, cover, and bake for 16 minutes. Remove from oven. Cover and let steam for 10 minutes, then fluff with a fork before serving.

    Martha Stewart Member     Rating: 5 stars       10/22/2018   I consider myself a good home chef but rice has always been my nemesis, until now. My daughter says I try to “ fancy” it up to much. This recipe is awesome. I use it as is for a side dish or I spread it out on a cookie sheet to dry then use it for fried rice. Both are excellent.  
    
    Martha Stewart Member     Rating: 5 stars       12/29/2016   This is a great recipe. You can add whatever you want to it in terms of fresh herbs, vegetables, etc. I always add a clove or two of minced garlic to the onion....sometimes a splash of white wine after the rice. One important step, which I'm surprised wasn't mentioned, since Martha made a point of it on her show, is that the rice should be well rinsed to remove as much starch as possible. This gives it the fluffy texture with individual grains of rice.  
    
    Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       07/31/2013   I love this pilaf. It is my go-to side dish for many dinners. It is SO EASY and taste like a million bucks.  
    
    Martha Stewart Member     Rating: 4 stars       08/25/2011   I've made this multiple times. Delicious! I toast the rice in a skillet with the butter first then let my rice cooker finish it off with the rest of the ingredients.
