Time 1h5m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons olive oil
½ onion, chopped
2 cups long-grain white rice
3 cups chicken stock
1 ½ teaspoons salt
1 pinch saffron
¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  • Melt butter and olive oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add onion; cook and stir until onion is lightly browned, 7 to 8 minutes. Remove from heat.
  • Combine rice and onion mixture in a 9x13-inch casserole dish placed on a baking sheet. Stir thoroughly to coat the rice.
  • Combine chicken stock, salt, saffron, and cayenne pepper in a saucepan. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to low, and simmer for 5 minutes.
  • Pour chicken stock mixture over rice in the casserole dish and stir to combine. Spread mixture evenly along the bottom of the pan. Cover tightly with heavy-duty aluminum foil.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 35 minutes. Remove from oven and allow to rest, covered, for 10 minutes. Remove foil and fluff with a fork to separate the grains of rice.
