Method

  • *Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
  • Cook onion with water in a nonstick skillet for 5 minutes; Add margarine and rice and cook several seconds until rice is coated with margarine.
  • Add chicken broth and bring to a simmer; Cover and continue to simmer 15 minutes, until rice is cooked through and liquid is absorbed.
  • Meanwhile, line a baking tray with foil and place chopped peanuts on foil and sprinkle with cayenne.
