    Instructions

    1 Heat olive oil in a large heavy-based saucepan. Add onions and thyme or rosemary. Season and cook gently for 15 minutes, stirring regularly, until the onions are soft. (Cooking the onions slowly brings out their gorgeous sweetness.)

    2 Add rice and vegetable stock then cover and bring to the boil. Cook for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the rice is almost cooked. Under-cook the rice slightly so it retains some bite, as it will finish cooking in each recipe.

    3 Cool and chill for up to 24 hours or use immediately in one of these recipes:

    Spiced smoked fish in creamy parsley rice
    Mushroom and spinach risotto
    Chicken and bacon paella
    Stir-fried steak with citrus basil dressing

    HFG tip

    If you’re making this ahead, cool the rice as quickly as possible and chill it until required.
