Butter Rice is a simple and flavorful side dish that complements a variety of meals with its rich, creamy texture and delightful buttery flavor.

Scale

1 cup long-grain rice (rinsed)

2 cups water

2 tablespoons butter (unsalted)

1 teaspoon salt

1 tablespoon chopped parsley (optional)

In a medium saucepan, combine the rinsed rice, water, and salt. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat.
Once boiling, reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 18-20 minutes, or until the rice is tender and water is absorbed.
Remove from heat and let it sit, covered, for an additional 5 minutes.
Stir in the butter until melted and fluffy, then garnish with chopped parsley if desired.

Feel free to substitute the water with vegetable or chicken broth for additional flavor. Adjust salt according to dietary preferences.
