Ingredients

2 tbsp butter

1 cup black rice

1/2 cup diced onion

1/2 cup sliced almonds

1.75 cups water

1 chicken bouillon cube

Directions

Begin by gathering all ingredients.

In a saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the black rice, diced onion, and sliced almonds; cook and stir until they become lightly toasted (about 5 to 10 minutes).

Pour in water and crumble in the chicken bouillon; bring to a boil.

Lower the heat, cover the saucepan, and let it simmer till the rice is tender and the liquid is absorbed (approximately 25 to 30 minutes).
