Faux Rice Pilaf

Ingredients

• 1/4 cup butter
• 2 onions, sliced
• 2 cloves garlic, peeled and crushed
• 1 Tablespoon chopped fresh thyme
• Salt and freshly ground black pepper
• 1 1/2 cups rice

Directions

Heat the butter in a sauté pan and gently fry the onions until soft and slightly golden. Add the garlic 1 minute, along with the thyme. Season with salt and pepper and set aside.

While the onions are cooking, bring a large pot of water to the boil. Salt it, as for pasta, then boil the rice until tender. Drain well. Toss with the onion mixture and heat through.
