Rice Pilaf

I have decided to continue on with my rice theme and post a recipe for pancakes.  Only kidding, more rice of course.  This one is for Rice Pilaf and it is a very versatile rice.  It goes great with most anything!  I will sometimes makes a bigger batch of this and use the left overs to make up a casserole or a fried rice.  My friend Lisa does a similar recipe and pre-measures her rice and seasonings into a baggie so that she only has to throw it in a pot when she is ready.  Clever Lisa!

1 1/2 cups long grain Jasmine
2 Tbsp butter
1 small yellow onion, diced
2 cloves garlic, diced small
3 cups chicken broth

Heat the butter up in a pan and saute the onions for 3-4 minutes.  Add in the rice and garlic and cook for a couple minutes until the rice is fragrant.  Add in broth, cover and bring to boil.  Without removing lid, reduce heat to low and cook for 15-18 minutes until done.
