1 tablespoon unsalted butter
1 medium yellow onion, cut into 1/4-inch dice
1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 cup uncooked basmati rice
1 whole bay leaf
1 cinnamon stick
2/3 cup golden raisins

Salt and freshly ground pepper

Steps:

  • Melt butter in a medium high-sided saucepan set over medium heat. Add onion, cloves, and cinnamon; cook until onion becomes translucent and mixture is very fragrant.
  • Place rice in sieve, and rinse under cold running water. Add rice to saucepan, and stir so grains are coated in butter mixture.
