browned onion and corn pilaf

Ingredients:

• 0.5 cup onions
• 0.5 cup corn kernels
• 1/4 red pepper, diced
• 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
• 0.5 cup long-grain rice
• 1 teaspoon salt

Preparation:

• In a heavy saucepan cook the onion and the corn in the butter over moderately high heat, stirring, until the vegetables are browned.
• Add the rice, stir the mixture until the rice is coated with the butter, and stir in 1 cup water and the salt.
• Bring the liquid to a boil, stirring, and cook the pilaf, covered, over low heat for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the liquid is absorbed.
  

Notes:

• I added red pepper to the original recipe, since I thought it would add taste and colour
• I quadrupled the recipe... and then soon learned, that for rice, the water amounts doesn't go up as quickly as the rest of the ingredients, so it turned out mushy
