- Step 1
Heat the oil in a large, sturdy saucepan. Add the onion and cook over medium heat for 6 to 8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until browned.
- Step 2
Add rice, stir well, and then add stock, salt and red pepper flakes. Bring mixture to a boil, cover, reduce heat to very low, and cook for 35 minutes.
- Step 3
Meanwhile, peel the broccoli stems. Cut stems into ½-inch pieces and flowerets into 1-inch pieces.
- Step 4
When rice has cooked for 35 minutes, place broccoli on top of rice (don't stir). Cover and cook over low heat for 10 minutes. Add grated cheese, stir, and serve immediately.

Seemed to need more seasoning or perhaps higher quality ingredients.

I added seasoned, chopped, chicken thighs at the end that had been previously cooked sous vide (see Kenji's directions at the Serious Eats site) and stored for quick meals. This is exactly the recipe I was looking for. Thanks!

Old school yummy, and very easy. I halved the recipe which worked just fine, and used my usual go-to for stock (boullion cubes). Nice change from potatoes.
