Instructions: In a three-quart glass container, combine butter, garlic and onion. Microwave on high three minutes. Set aside. Microwave broth on high two minutes and then combine the broth and the rice with the onion mixture, along with the saffron. (You can omit the saffron, if its not to your taste.) Cover. Microwave on high for five minutes, then on medium for eight to 10 minutes, or until the rice swells and almost all the liquid is absorbed. Stir in the cheese and allow to stand, covered, for about five minutes before serving.
