4 servings
- 1 ½ cups long-grain white rice
- 2 ¼ cups water
- ½ tsp salt
- 2 tbsp unsalted butter
- 2 tbsp fresh flat-leaf parsley, finely chopped
- 1 tbsp fresh chives, thinly sliced
- 1 tbsp fresh basil, thinly sliced (optional)
Instructions

Combine the rice, water, and salt in a medium saucepan and bring to a boil over medium-high heat, uncovered, until the surface is bubbling and the water level has dropped just to the top of the rice, about 3–4 minutes.

Reduce the heat to the lowest setting, cover tightly, and cook until all the water is absorbed and the rice is tender, about 15 minutes. Do not lift the lid during this time.
