Rice Pilaf with Spring Onion Confit

Heat oil in a medium saucepan over medium-high. Add 1/2 cup solids from Spring Onion Confit; cook until confit starts to brown, about 3 minutes, stirring occasionally. Stir in rice; cook until rice turns translucent, about 2 minutes, stirring frequently. Stir in stock, salt, and pepper; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low; cover and simmer until liquid is absorbed and rice is tender, about 55 minutes. Let stand, covered, 10 minutes; fluff with a fork. Stir in chives.
