Ingredients
- 2 cups long-grain white rice (see note 1)
- 2 tablespoons butter or olive oil (see note 2)
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 4 cups boiling water (see note 3)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees. In a 2 1/2-quart or larger baking dish, add rice, butter, and salt. Stir in boiling water until butter is melted.
- Cover and bake until rice the water is absorbed and the rice is tender, about 30 to 35 minutes. Fluff rice with a fork.
Notes
- Long-grain rice: Any rice works such as long-grain American, basmati, or jasmine. Brown rice takes longer to cook, so plan on at least an hour in the oven.
- Butter: You can add up to a whole stick of butter to your rice, but 2 tablespoons is plenty, and olive oil is delicious too.
- Water: For a flavor boost, substitute chicken broth for the water.
- Yield: This recipe makes about 6 cups cooked rice (1 cup uncooked rice yields about 3 cups cooked).
- Storage: Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
