Instructions
- Rinse the basmati rice under cold water until the water runs clear to remove excess starch.
- In a large pot over medium heat, melt the butter and sauté the chopped onion for 3-4 minutes until translucent.
- Stir in the rinsed rice and the cinnamon stick; sauté for another minute to absorb flavors.
- Add the chicken broth, bring it to a boil, then reduce heat to low and cover. Cook for 15-20 minutes or until all liquid is absorbed.
- Remove from heat and let sit covered for 5 minutes before fluffing with a fork. Garnish with toasted pine nuts if desired.
