Method
- Mix the rice, white wine, salt, and chopped onion together.
- Cook the mixture for half an hour in 1 gallon of water.
Notes:
My recipe has been passed on from generation to generation in my family. My grandmother used to cook it for all my family on Sundays. Note: 1 gallon of water is a very large amount for 1 cup of rice; this will result in a very soupy consistency or requires significant reduction.
