Restaurant Spanish Rice - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    1 teaspoon olive oil
    1 teaspoon butter
    1/2 sweet onion, diced
    1 cup rice
    2 cups water
    1 chicken bouillon cube
    1/2 teaspoon kosher salt (less if regular salt)
    1/4 cup mild canned enchilada sauce (not salsa)
    1 -2 tablespoon grated carrot
    1 -2 green onion, for garnish
Preparation
    Saute onion in oil until translucent.
    Add rice and saute a few more minutes.
    Add remaining ingredients and bring to a boil.
    Stir, cover and reduce heat to simmer.
    Simmer for twenty minutes without removing lid.
    Fluff with a fork and serve with chopped green onions on top.
    Note: The mild enchilada sauce adds flavor without adding spiciness. If using hot enchilada sauce, I would cut the amount in half at least.
