Herbed Rice

Description:
I got this recipe from "The Good Food Cook Book", which I bought (for Rp. 5000 - not bad for a hard cover!) from a salesman who managed to get into our campus about 10 years ago. This one is among the first recipes from that book that I successfully produced, and I continue to make occassionally, up to today.

Ingredients:
60 ml butter
125 ml chopped onion
375 ml uncooked rice
300 ml chicken stock
625 ml water
0,5 ml dried leaf thyme
0,5 ml dried leaf marjoram
10 ml salt, 0,5 ml pepper
125 ml slivered toasted almonds

Directions:
1. Heat butter, add onion and cook for about 3 minutes. Add rice until golden brown.
2. Heat chicken stock and water to boil. Pour rice mixture, add thyme, marjoram, salt and pepper.
3. Bring to boil, turn heat to low, cover and simmer for about 20 minutes.
4. Add almonds and toss lightly.

Since I use rice cooker, here's how I do it after #1:
2. Pour the sautéed rice in the rice cooker. Pour chicken stock + water in the rice cooker and stir in the herbs (thyme, marjoram) and salt & pepper.
3. Turn the rice cooker on and wait until the rice is cooked. Stir a bit after it's done.
4. I hardly ever use almonds, but spread (fresh or dried) parsley instead.
