Print Recipe

Imagine a savory, aromatic rice dish that captures the essence of classic French onion soup – that’s the delightful experience of French Onion Butter Rice. This comforting one-pot wonder combines the caramelized sweetness of slow-cooked onions with the soothing creaminess of butter and the herbal notes of fresh thyme.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup long-grain rice
  • 3 tablespoon unsalted butter
  • 2 medium yellow onions, sliced
  • 2 cup vegetable broth
  • 1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

1. 1. In a large skillet or saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the sliced onions and cook, stirring occasionally, until they are caramelized and golden brown, about 15-20 minutes.

2. 2. Once the onions are perfectly caramelized, add the rice to the pan and stir to coat it in the butter. Cook for 1-2 minutes, allowing the rice to lightly toast and develop additional flavor.

3. 3. Pour in the vegetable broth and stir in the fresh thyme leaves. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Bring the mixture to a boil.

4. 4. Reduce the heat to low, cover the pan, and let the French Onion Butter Rice simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until the rice is tender and the liquid has been absorbed.

5. 5. Remove the pan from the heat and let it sit, covered, for 5 minutes. Then, fluff the rice with a fork and serve it warm, garnished with additional fresh thyme if desired.

Notes

For a richer, creamier dish, feel free to substitute the vegetable broth with chicken broth or even a combination of broth and milk or cream.
