This is one of the prettiest rice dishes and is great to serve with Osso Bucco. Please add the tomato, even if you are a purist. It adds a lovely depth to this dish. Can be prepared earlier in the day and reheated, over low heat, before serving. Sprinkle rice with a few drops of water or broth before reheating.

2 tablespoons butter
1 small onion, finely chopped

1 1/4 cups rice
2 cans (10 1/2 ounces, each) chicken broth
1 teaspoon ground turmeric
1 large tomato, peeled, seeded and chopped
salt and pepper to taste

4 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese (or more to taste)

Saute onion in butter until onion is soft. Stir in next 6 ingredients, cover pan and simmer rice for about 30 minutes or until rice is tender and liquid is absorbed. Toss in cheese before serving. Serve with Osso Bucco. Serves 6.
