INGREDIENTS:
2 breakfast cups long-grain rice 4 breakfast cups chicken stock 30 g/1 oz butter
1 small onion salt and pepper



1 Select a suitable casserole or pan that can be used on top of the stove as well as in the oven.
2 Finely chop the onion. Melt the butter and fry the onion until it is transparent but not coloured. Add the rice and fry it for a minute or so, stirring all the time. Bring the stock to the boil and pour it over the rice.
3 Season lightly, cover with a tight-fitting lid and put straight into a pre-heated oven at 220 C/425 F/gas mark 7 for exactly 17 minutes. Do not stir the rice after putting the casserole into the oven.
4 At the end of the exact cooking time, remove the lid and you will see that the rice has absorbed all the stock and is loose-grained, cooked, but still moist.
