Eleanor Roosevelt's Italian Rice
"It called for 4 onions medium size. I think onions were smaller in the 30's, so I'm putting 1 cup of them. This was in a 1930's cookbook and of course this recipe is a risotto, but Eleanor just called it Italian rice. lol"

Step by Step Method

Melt butter in shallow pan.

At same time add dry rice.
Step 4
The rice should not be washed as it will not brown if there is any moisture.
Step 5
Allow the onions and rice to thoroughly brown over low flame.
Step 6
Add chicken broth.
Step 7
Let the rice simmer 3/4 of an hour (uncovered I'm guessing).

Have the heat very low as to fast cooking makes the rice soggy.
