This side pairs well with Stuffed Chicken or chickpea curry.
In a medium saucepan, melt butter over medium. Add onion and cook until softened, 8 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Add rice and cook, stirring occasionally, 3 minutes. Add 2 cups water and bring to a boil over high. Reduce heat, partially cover, and simmer until liquid is absorbed, 10 minutes. Stir in raisins, cover, and let stand 3 minutes before serving.
