Tip

Keep Onion Handy

I keep a peeled onion in a glass jar in my refrigerator. It’s handy when I need a small amount of chopped onion for a recipe or my husband wants a slice of onion on his hamburger. It stays fresh in the jar, eliminating waste. —Dorothy G., Tewksbury, Massachusetts

My husband and I love this rice; however, we find the 2/3 cup chicken broth does not provide enough liquid. I usually increase the amount by 1 cup.
