1/3 cup chopped celery
1/3 cup chopped red onion
1 1/4 cups medium-grain white rice such as pearl or arborio
About 4 cups fat-skimmed chicken broth

In a 3- to 4-quart pan over medium heat, combine oil, celery, and onion. Stir often until onion is limp, 4 to 5 minutes. Add rice and mix well.
2
Add 4 cups broth and bring to a boil over high heat, stirring often. Reduce heat to simmering and stir often until rice is tender to bite, 12 to 15 minutes.
