Preparation

1. Bring broth to a simmer in a medium saucepan (do not boil). Keep warm over low heat.
2. Heat oil in a large saucepan or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add onion; cook 5 minutes or until tender, stirring occasionally. Add rosemary, ginger, and garlic; cook 2 minutes, stirring frequently. Add rice; cook 3 minutes, stirring constantly.
