Recipe - Minted Basmati Rice Pilaf

2 cup Basmati rice
1 tablespoon Olive oil
1 small Onion; finely chopped
1 Bay leaf
1 teaspoon Salt
Several grinds white pepper
3 cup Hot chicken broth
2 tablespoon Unsalted butter
2 tablespoon Chopped fresh mint leaves

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Examine the rice for foreign objects, but do
not wash.

Heat the olive oil in the bottom of a heavy casserole until it begins to
bubble. Add the onion and saute until translucent. Add the rice and stir to
coat well with oil before adding the bay leaf, salt, pepper and the hot
broth. Quickly bring to a boil, place a tight fitting lid on the pot and
place into the oven.

Cook the rice for 18 to 20 minutes before removing from the oven. Stir in
the butter and the chopped mint and serve.

This recipe yields 4 to 6 servings.
