# Pilaf
## Ingredients
- 2-3 Tbsp margarine
- 1/4 cup onion, diced
- 1/2 cup long grain white rice
- 1 cup + 2 Tbsp consommé or tomato juice (see Editor's Notes)
## Instructions
1. Melt margarine in a heavy saucepan over medium heat.
2. Add diced onion and sauté until softened and translucent, approximately 3-4 minutes.
3. Add dry rice and sauté, stirring constantly, until rice is lightly toasted and opaque, approximately 2-3 minutes.
4. Pour in consommé or tomato juice and bring to a boil.
5. Reduce heat to low, cover tightly, and simmer until rice is tender and liquid is fully absorbed, approximately 18-20 minutes.
6. Remove from heat and let stand covered for 5 minutes before fluffing with a fork.
## Editor's Notes
- **Margarine quantity** — original card lists "1/4" alongside margarine but the unit is ambiguous; 1/4 cup of margarine for 1/2 cup rice is excessive. 2-3 Tbsp recommended as more practical.
- **"Over a cup consomm-"** — consommé, with the word cut off. Beef or chicken consommé both appropriate; chicken produces a lighter result.
- **"Tan juice"** — interpreted as tomato juice, with "tom" hastily abbreviated. Tomato juice pilaf was a common mid-century variation producing a reddish, slightly sweet rice dish. -
