[Vegan Braised Rice and Onions]
Julia says '
This is a savory mixture of sliced onions, rice, and butter cooked slowly together until they melt into a puree. The natural moisture of the onions is sufficient to cook the rice; no other liquid is needed.'
...you start by cooking your rice in a lot of boiling water for exactly 5 minutes...Julia says...
...then you slice a bunch of onions...
...get some vegan butter foaming in your casserole dish...then add your sliced onions...
...stir to coat with the butter...
...then drain your partially cooked rice...
...and add it to the onions...
...cover and put it into a 300° F oven (148° C)...I'm still using my toaster oven on the porch to keep from heating up the kitchen...
...it cooks for an hour without any added liquid...but you should stir it several times...
...Julia says it will usually turn a light golden yellow colour...
...she also says you can make it ahead to this point and then finish it later...right before serving add some vegan cream, cheese and butter...so we added some almond cream...
...and some Earth Balance...
...and some Violife Aged Cheddar...
...shaped it into a little ball...
...it was really delicious...I'd make it again...
