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

Tasty and easy. I used fresh mushrooms instead of canned and chicken broth instead of bouillon. I added diced carrots, celery, frozen peas, and thyme to make it a complete meal. Served a tossed salad on the side. Yum!

I found this to be a nice busy weekend meal. The rice had an almost risotto like texture- nice and creamy and I added a cup of frozen peas to make it a one pot meal. My family enjoyed it and said to keep this one.
