Directions

Rinse rice; drain. In a medium saucepan, combine rice, oil and water; bring to a boil. Reduce heat; cover and simmer for 30 minutes. Meanwhile, in a large kettle, cook onion, celery and carrots in butter until vegetables are almost tender. Blend in flour; cook and stir for 2 minutes. Add broth and undrained rice. Bring to a boil; cook and stir until slightly thickened. Stir in the cream, rosemary and salt. Reduce heat and simmer, uncovered, for about 20 minutes or until rice is tender.
