3 tbsp unsalted butter, divided
1 ¾ cups water
¾ tsp kosher salt
Chef's tip
Season to taste - salt substitutes can taste bitter in larger amounts, so start with less.
1 tbsp fresh flat-leaf parsley, finely chopped (optional)

Instructions

1
Rinse the rice in a fine-mesh strainer under cold running water, stirring with your hand, until the water runs mostly clear, about 30 seconds. Shake off the excess water.
2
Melt 1 tbsp of the butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add the rinsed rice and stir to coat, cooking until the grains look chalky and opaque and smell faintly nutty, about 2 minutes.
