Start by giving your rice a good rinse under cold water and let it drain completely. This will get rid of excess starch and prevent your rice from turning out too sticky.

In a deep skillet, sauté your finely chopped onion with a dash of fat until they turn translucent. Here comes the fun part – shower your rice over the onions, giving it a stir with a wooden spoon for about two minutes on medium heat.
Now, pour in the chicken broth (or water if you’re using that) and give it a thorough mix. Once that’s done, reduce the heat, cover the skillet, and let it work its magic in the oven at a medium setting for about 18 minutes. Give it some rest, fluff it up with a fork, and voilà! Your pilaf rice is all set to impress.
