Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Dice onion and mince garlic.
- Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in an ovenproof pan over medium heat; add onion, garlic, and 1/2 tablespoon butter. Cook 5-6 minutes or until onion is translucent, then season with salt.
- Stir rice into the skillet and cook for 1-2 minutes more. Add 2 cups of broth and bring to a simmer. Remove from heat, cover with foil, and bake for 30 minutes or until the liquid has absorbed.
