    • 1 large onion finely chopped
    • 2 large celery stalks diced

    Instructions

    • Heat the oil in a large saucepan. Add the onion and celery and sauté over medium heat until the onion is golden.
    • Add the rice, stock, orange juice, optional orange zest, and thyme. Bring to a rapid simmer, then lower the heat and simmer gently, covered, until the water is absorbed, about 30 minutes.
    • If the rice is not tender enough for your taste, add another ½ cup stock (or water), and simmer until absorbed. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
    • Serve at once. Garnish each serving with a little minced parsley and if desired, a few clementine sections.
