Preparation

This rice may be cooked on top of the stove or baked in the oven. If it is to be baked, preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
- Step 2
Melt two tablespoons of the butter in a heavy saucepan and cook the onion and garlic, stirring with a wooden spoon, until the onion is wilted. Add the rice and stir briefly over low heat until all the grains are coated with butter.
- Step 3
Stir in the broth, making sure there are no lumps in the rice. Add the parsley, thyme, bay leaf and cayenne. Cover with a closefitting lid. Place in the oven or cook on top of the stove.
- Step 4
Cook the rice exactly 17 minutes. Remove the cover and discard the parsley and thyme sprigs and the bay leaf. Using a two-pronged fork, stir in the remaining butter. If the rice is not to be served immediately, keep covered in a warm place.

Great recipe. Rice turns out light and fluffy when using 1.5 times liquid to rice rather than 2 to 1 ratio.
