Heat the olive oil in a large heavy saucepan over medium heat. 2. Add the chopped onion and cook until limp. Do not let it brown! 3. Add the rice and sauté until the grains become shiny. 4. Add the water, cover the pan, and cook over low heat until all the water is absorbed and the grains are tender. ### Notes: Be careful not to brown the onions, as this will change the traditional white color and delicate flavor of the rice. **Serving info:** Total recipe: 2600g · Yields 12 portions · Portion size: 215g | Nutrient | Per 100g | Per Portion | % Daily Value | |---|---|---|---| | Energy (kcal) | 120 | 258 | 13% | | Carbohydrates (g) | 23.3 | 50.2 | 18% | | ↳ of which sugars (g) | 0.2 | 0.4 | - | | Dietary fiber (g) | 0.5 | 1.0 | 4% | | Protein (g) | 2.0 | 4.4 | 9% | | Total fat (g) | 1.8 | 3.8 | 5% | | ↳ Saturated (g) | 0.2 | 0.5 | 3% | | ↳ Monounsaturated (g) | 1.2 | 2.5 | - | | ↳ Polyunsaturated (g) | 0.2 | 0.5 | - | | ↳ Trans (g) | 0.0 | 0.0 | - | | Sodium (mg) | 90 | 194 | 8% | | Calcium (mg) | 10 | 21 | 2% | | Iron (mg) | 1.3 | 2.7 | 15% | | Potassium (mg) | 39 | 83 | 2% | | Vitamin C (mg) | 0.3 | 0.7 | 1% | | Vitamin B12 (µg) | 0.0 | 0.0 | 0% | ### Ingredient data sources - Rice, white, long-grain, regular, raw, enriched — 740g — Rice, white, long-grain, regular, raw, enriched — USDA FDC - Water — 1896g — Water, tap, municipal — USDA FDC - Onion — 110g — Onions, raw — USDA FDC - Olive oil — 40.5g — Oil, olive, salad or cooking — USDA FDC - Salt — 6g — Salt, table — USDA FDC ⚠️ = estimated or sourced outside the listed databases. % Daily Value based on FDA 2020 Daily Values for adults (2,000 kcal diet).
