This Caribbean rice recipe takes sweet Vidalia onions and caramelizes them to a savory perfection while adding in a creamy base for a side dish everyone will love!
The first time my mother-in-law made this dish for me was the night we brought our son home from the hospital. It was my first meal as a new mom and I have been addicted ever since. She uses whatever onions are available, but I prefer Vidalia onions for their sweet flavor and amazing caramelizing ability.
