Golden Butter Rice

Ingredients

1. 1 cup long-grain white rice
2. 2 cups water
3. 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
4. Salt to taste
5. Fresh parsley for garnish (optional)

Steps

Step 1: Rinse the rice under cold water until the water runs clear.

Step 2: In a saucepan, combine the rinsed rice and water. Bring it to a boil, then reduce heat, cover, and simmer until the rice is cooked and water is absorbed.

Step 3: In a separate pan, melt the butter over medium heat.

Step 4: Continue cooking the butter until it turns a golden-brown color, being careful not to let it burn. This step adds a rich and nutty flavor to the rice.

Step 5: Once the rice is cooked, fluff it with a fork.

Step 6: Pour the golden-brown butter over the rice and gently stir to coat evenly.

Step 7: Season with salt to taste.

Step 8: Garnish with fresh parsley if desired.

Serve the Golden Butter Rice as a delightful and luxurious side dish, pairing beautifully with various proteins or as part of a festive meal. Enjoy!
