Step 2: Cook Rice

In the same pan add:

• One diced onion, cook 2-3 mins

• Add a small splash of broth to deglaze the pan

• 1.5 cups RINSED rice. (I wash my rice in a large bowl, swirl the water around with my hand, pour the water out the side of the bowl, and do that 4 or 5 times till water runs clear).

• 3.5 cups chicken broth

• Bring to a simmer

• Cover tightly and cook on low heat until rice is nearly done (15-18 mins)

Step 3: Finishing

• Add finely chopped broccoli

• Add a splash of broth if mixture looks dry

  • 1/2 cup half & half cream

  • 100-150 g sheddred cheddar cheese (1 - 1.5 cups)
