Photo: Herbed Basmati Rice Recipe
Ingredients
- 1 cup uncooked long-grain (white) basmati rice (recommended: Texmati)
- 1 3/4 cups water
- 3/4 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons minced fresh curly parsley leaves
- 1 tablespoon minced fresh dill leaves
- 1 tablespoon minced fresh scallions, white and green parts
- Pinch freshly ground black pepper
Directions
Combine the rice, 1 3/4 cups water, the salt, and butter in a small heavy-bottomed saucepan. Bring to a boil over high heat; reduce the heat to low, stir once, and simmer, covered tightly, for 15 minutes. (I need to pull the pot half off the burner to keep it from boiling over.) Turn off the heat and allow the rice to sit covered for 5 minutes. Add the parsley, dill, scallions, and pepper. Fluff with a fork, and serve warm.

I made rack of lamb for the first time recently and this was the perfect accompaniment. It was super easy and super flavorful!
I used a rice cooker which I was a little nervous about, but it made it all the more easy and it still came out great. I used the cup that comes with a bag of Asian rice and followed the water marker in the rice cooker bowl, but other than that I followed the recipe as is.
Have already made it again with the same tasty results. Thanks!

It was very dry and needed some kind of sauce or something. Won't be making this again.
