Ingredients

  • 6 cups low-sodium chicken broth
  • 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1 medium onion, diced finely
  • 1 1/2 cups black rice
  • 1/2 cup dry white wine
  • Kosher salt and freshly cracked black pepper
  • 3/4 cup grated parmesan cheese

Instructions

  1. Warm the chicken broth in a saucepan over medium-high heat until simmering gently. Cover and keep warm on low heat.
  2. In a large saucepan over medium heat, add olive oil and saut the diced onion until softened, about 4 minutes. Stir in black rice and toast for 1 minute. Reduce heat to medium-low, add white wine, and stir until absorbed, about 3 minutes.
