• Bring the liquid to a boil, then lower the heat to medium. Cover the pan and cook until the liquid is absorbed and the rice is tender, 15 to 20 minutes.

Add the raisins and cook, stirring occasionally, until warmed and slightly softened, about 2 minutes (see Cook's Note). Set aside.
• When the rice is ready, remove from the heat and let sit for 5 minutes so it can finish steaming. Fluff with a fork and transfer to a serving plate. Top with the onion and raisin mixture and serve.
