1/3 cup thinly sliced onion(can use 3 green onions)
butter flavored cooking spray
2/3 cup arborio or long grain rice
2 cups water
1 teaspoon chicken boullion granules
dash pepper
1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese
Traditional method: Spray medium saucepan well and cook onion until tender but not brown. Spray again and add uncooked rice. Cook and stir 2 minutes more. Carefully stir in water, boullion, and pepper. Bring to boiling, reduce heat. Cover and simmer 20 minutes without lifting cover. Remove from heat, let stand, covered, 5 minutes. Rice should be tender, but slightly firm, and the mixture should be creamy. If necessary, stir in extra water to make it creamy. Stir in Parmesan. 2.5 points per 1/2 cup.
I have a food and rice steamer and this is another method....Steamer method: place 1 cup rice to 2 cups water in rice bowl. Add boullion and pepper. Place rice bowl in steamer basket and steam for 50 minutes. When time is up, check to make sure it has the right consistency, adding water if necessary, and add Parmesan. Sorry, no picture yet...
