Number Of Ingredients 10

1 tablespoon olive oil
1/2 large sweet onion, finely diced

1 1/2 cups basmati rice
2 tablespoons fresh thyme leaves
2 1/2 cups chicken stock
1/2 cup apple juice

Steps:

Heat a Dutch oven over low heat and add the oil. Add the onions and sweat until translucent, 8 to 10 minutes. Increase the heat to medium, add the apples, tossing well, and cook until they start to brown. Add the rice and thyme. Cook for 1 to 2 minutes, then add the chicken stock, apple juice, butter, vinegar and some salt and bring to a simmer. Cover, reduce the heat to low and cook until the rice is tender, about 20 minutes.
Fluff with a fork and adjust the salt as needed.
