Ingredients
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
1 tablespoon canola oil
2 medium-size onions (8 ounces total), peeled and chopped (1 ½ cups)
½ teaspoon dried thyme
2 bay leaves
2 cups extra-long-grain white rice
4 cups chicken stock, preferably homemade
Salt to taste
½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
Preparation
- Step 1
In a saucepan or sturdy casserole dish, heat the butter and oil. When hot, add the onions, and saute over medium to high heat 2 to 3 minutes. Stir in the thyme, bay leaves and rice, mixing until the rice is coated with butter and oil.
- Step 2
Add the chicken stock, salt and pepper. Bring to a strong boil, stirring occasionally, over high heat. Then reduce the heat to very low, cover with a tight-fitting lid and cook about 20 minutes.
- Step 3
Fluff the rice with a fork and remove bay leaf. Serve immediately with mussels.
