Onion Rice

My sister and brother visited us for Thanksgiving last week. My poor brother could not eat anything at the thanksgiving dinner. He was sick. He wanted some comfort food when he felt slightly better. My sister is known as the rice queen in our family. She makes yummy rice dishes and quickly made this onion rice for my brother. I made it last night for dinner with left over brown basmati rice. Boy was it delicious!

Ingredients:
