RICE WITH LEMON GRASS AND GREEN ONION

  • 1/4 cup vegetable oil
  • 1 1/3 cups finely chopped onion
  • 1/2 tsp. tumeric
  • 2 cups long grain white rice
  • 3 1/2 cups water
  • 48 inches of lemon grass stalks, cut into 4-inch pieces
  • 1 tsp. salt
  • 2 large green onions, chopped

    Heat 3 Tbsp. oil in heavy saucepan over medium heat. Add onions and tumeric and saute for 5 minutes. Mix in rice, water, lemon grass and salt. Bring to simmer. Cover. Reduce heat to medium low and simmer until rice is tender and liquid is absorbed--about 18 minutes. Remove from heat; let stand covered for 10 minutes. Discard lemon grass.

    Heat remaining 1 Tbsp. oil in heavy skillet over medium heat. Add green onion and saute one minute. Add to rice and stir until heated through.

    Yield: 8 servings
