Ingredients

2 tablespoons olive oil 

1 small yellow onion, chopped (1 cup) 

1 teaspoon coarse salt 

2 cups Arborio rice 

2 cloves garlic, minced 

2 cups chicken broth 

1 cup water 

Preparation

Heat oil in a 3- to 4-quart saucepan over medium-high heat. When oil shimmers, add onions and salt and saute until onions are translucent, 3 minutes.

Add rice and garlic to pan and saute until rice is toasted and fragrant, 2 minutes.

Add chicken broth and water to pan. Bring to a boil, stir once, cover, and reduce heat. Simmer rice, covered, until liquid is evaporated, 18-20 minutes.

Remove from heat and let stand, covered, 5 minutes before serving.
