Who knew rice could taste this good with just three ingredients? Say hello to Butter Rice — quick, cozy, and crave-worthy!

Ingredients

  • 3 cups Basmati rice
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1 cup frozen peas
US - Metric

Instructions

  • Bring a pan of salted water to a boil.
  • Add the peas and bring the water back to a boil. Add rice and cook until firm to the bite. Drain.
  • Return the rice to the cooking pan, add the butter (less if you wish), mix well, and serve hot.

Equipment

Notes

  • If you eat rice often and do not know how to store it, a great friend taught me this excellent trick. Add unpeeled fresh garlic cloves to the rice and store away. This method will prevent little flies/bugs from taking up residence with your rice, and you ultimately will need to toss it into the garbage.
