So easy to make & so good to eat! This dish was risotto-like and peppery (due to the fresh ground pepper - a necessary addition). This dish was done so quickly that we were eating it out of the saute pan while waiting for the chicken to finish cooking. Great side dish!

Hey Denyse, great recipe!! My kids adore rice no matter how I make it, but they really flipped over this. Hubby, who normally doesn't care for rice, loved it too! Once my onions were just about done, I stirred in basmati rice and let it brown a bit. The onions and the broth really gave this side a very nice flavor. Thanks so much.

This was SO surprisingly good! My friend and I were looking for a simple rice side dish that we could make from ingredients we had in the house and voila! This served right up and we love it! It's so deceptively simple; it has great taste and is a perfect complement to any meal! Kudos Denyse! Thanks!

I make rice several times a week, and am always looking for interesting items to add to it. My teens both loved this and commented that it was "great rice". This is a keeper, I think it gets its flavor from the red onions. Thanks!

Sniffing around reviews, I came up with a twist. Use brown rice,beef boulion and atad of Jalipino and serve with beef or venison.

I used two cups of rice, four of broth and only 1/2 teaspoon of pepper. Also sprinkled a little thyme. My family says it's the "ultimate". Of course I had leftovers, which were just as good the next day. Thankyou for this great recipe.

I used beef cubes and served as a side with beef. Everyone really got exceited about it, and my 3 and 9 year old had seconds. Red onions are sweet and less potant than regular onions so it lightly flavors the rice, it's not overpowering. This would be a great substitution for the expensive boxed rice at the store.
