Ingredients

  • ¼ cup butter or margarine
  • ½ cup onion, finely chopped
  • 1 cup uncooked rice

Instructions

  • In a large saucepan, melt butter. Sauté onion until soft.

Notes

I sometimes cut pre-cooked chicken into bite-sized pieces and add to the rice. It makes a great meal-in-a-bowl.

Simply Eating Well

Patricia and Tom
Now that our nest is empty, Tom and I are enjoying quiet, intimate dinners at home. Simple meals. Smaller portions. The best cuts of meat. Organic vegetables. I’m always trying new recipes for 2 and still learning how to scale down the family favorites we’ve enjoyed through the years. Stay tuned.
