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.

Amazing! I made the rice with Ina's Scallops Provencal and roasted asparagus and it was excellent. My family, (including two kids under 5 ate every last bite. Next time I will double the recipe for leftovers. A++!

We really enjoyed this recipe! We don't like to overdo with rice, but with this recipe, it gives us a more healthy option and can be used as a base for additional recipes. Thanks so much for sharing!

This was so tasty and delicious! My dish looked like restaurant quality! To the reviewer that suggested roasting capri tomatoes in the oven and then mashing into the rice, THANK YOU, that really made the entire dish unbelievable. All the flavors that came together were so good. I will be making this again and again.
