Sweet Cilantro Rice

the pictures are out of order because the internet stinks, but we can work through this together. this picture is of the finished product, which i remembered to photograph before i devoured it all.
ingrediants:
one bunch of fresh cilantro, chopped (minus the stems)
one half of an onion, chopped
olive oil or butter, for sautee purposes
1/3 cup sugar
1 1/2 cups of chicken broth
1 1/3 cups rice
procedure:
1. heat rice pot to medium and sautee onion with olive oil or butter until onions are opaque
2. add chopped cilantro, for a minute or so
3. add rice and sautee for 3-5 minutes
4. add chicken broth and sugar
5. bring to a boil, cover and simmer for 20 minutes
6. enjoy the best sweet rice ever!
everything is done in thirds of a cup, except for the chicken broth. lately i've been adding an extra third cup of rice and 2 cans of chicken broth, because 1 1/2 cups of chicken broth leaves my with half a can of broth. i should probably increase the sugar, too.
rice and sugar. pure magic!
