"My sister, Erika Curry, has turned food into a passion. [She once had] plans to attend engineering school [but] has learned to take her passion for art into making meal masterpieces. It is always a welcome time in our family when we get to experience one of her meals.”

Hands on time: 10 minutes  Total time:   Serves: 4

Ingredients:

    1 tablespoon butter
    1 small onion, diced
    2 cups long-grain rice
    4 to 6 sprigs fresh rosemary
    3 cups chicken stock

Instructions:

In a large saucepan, melt butter. Add onion and cook until translucent, about five minutes. Add rice and half the rosemary sprigs, stirring constantly. Saute until the rice begins to brown. Remove rosemary sprigs and cover the rice with the chicken stock. Add remaining rosemary sprigs and stir once. When liquid comes to a boil, reduce to a simmer and cover.
