  • Add remaining butter to the pan, and once it is melted, add the diced onion and the remaining garlic. Stir until the onion becomes translucent.
  • Add the rice to the pan and stir to mix it with the onions and garlic. Add two cups of the broth and cook on medium heat until liquid is almost evaporated. Give this a good stir every couple of minutes.
  • Continuing adding the broth one cup at a time. After you add the fourth cup of broth to this recipe, you should see that the dish is becoming very creamy.
