French Onion Butter Rice is a flavorful and comforting side dish that combines the rich sweetness of caramelized onions with savory rice cooked in broth. This recipe is simple to make and pairs well with a variety of main dishes.

Ingredients

Scale

For Caramelized Onions:

  • 2 tbsp unsalted butter
  • 1 medium yellow onion, thinly sliced
  • Salt

For Rice:

  • 1 cup long-grain white rice
  • 2 cups beef broth (or chicken broth)
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp dried thyme
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese (optional)
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Caramelize the Onions: In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the sliced onions and a pinch of salt. Cook, stirring frequently, until the onions are golden brown and caramelized, about 15 minutes.
  2. Toast the Rice: Add the rice to the saucepan with the onions and stir to coat the grains in butter. Cook for 2-3 minutes until slightly toasted.
  3. Simmer: Pour in the beef broth, garlic powder, and thyme. Stir well, bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to low. Cover and simmer for 18-20 minutes, or until the rice is tender and the liquid is absorbed.
  4. Finish & Serve: Remove from heat and fluff the rice with a fork. Stir in Parmesan cheese if desired. Season with additional salt and pepper to taste.
  5. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve warm.
