Steps:

• Heat butter and oil in a large sturdy saucepan. When hot add the onions and saute over medium-to-high heat for about 2 to 3 minutes. Add the herbes de Provence and rice and mix well to combine. Add water, salt and pepper and bring mixture to a boil, stirring so it does not stick.
• When boiling, reduce the heat and cook, covered, over very low heat for about 40 minutes, until rice is tender, a little chewy and most of the moisture has been absorbed.
