Rice, Rice Baby

I felt like rice tonight.  It's terrible that I just wanted rice, but there you go.  But I didn't want just white rice.  Nothing wrong with white rice, it's one of my favorite things, but I wanted something a little more complex.

So I searched the fridge.  We had some sliced baby bellas and some yellow onion chopped. So I sautéed those in butter with some dried chives, salt and butter.  I wanted to get more of the mushroom liquor so I added the salt to the mushrooms as they were sautéing.  When the veggies were soft enough, I added 2 cups of rice and toasted it a little.  I then added 4 cups chicken broth and put a lid on it.  I lowered the heat to medium low and let it simmer away until all the liquid was gone and the rice is absorbed.

Served with parmesan sprinkled over the top? Delicious!
