Grandma's Oven Rice
Valerie and Peter grew up with this dish on special occasions, usually served with Sour Cream Chicken. Now a whole new generation loves it too.
NOTES
- I almost always make a double batch. Extras can always be frozen.
- It's an amazing recipe for a rice pilaf of any variety -- Mexican rice, Basmati rice, you name it -- just change the type of liquid and add spices, e.g. Mexican rice add water, tomato sauce, and oregano.
Add rice to onion mixture and stir briefly, until the rice turns opaque. Immdediately add 2 cups of chicken stock to rice. Do not stir.
Bring mixture to a boil on the stove and turn burner off. Cover the pot and bake in the oven at 325F for 20-25 minutes.
