"Good Rice"

The rice we had in Florida was so delicious, we decided to find a recipe for "Good Rice." Here it is...we added clove of garlic to get closer to the recipe we enjoyed, but there still seems to be something missing. Anyone know what it could be??

1/2 cup butter
4 cups chicken broth
1/2 cup fresh basil, chopped
1/2 cup parsley, chopped
2 cups long-grain white rice, uncooked
1 large onion, chopped
salt, to taste
Optional: 1 clove of garlic

1. Melt butter and saute onion until transparent. Add rice and stir constantly until it turns a caramel color.
2. Add chicken broth, then parsley, basil and salt. Bring to a boil and lower flame. Cover and steam rice for 18 minutes. Fluff with a large 2 prong fork.

Most cubans, add lime or cilantro, maybe that's it? Many Floridians eat Cuban food like Californiana eat Mexican food. Similiar dishes, yet quite different in flavors between the borders....

Happy Traveling Ladies!!!
