Ranch Rice

This Ranch Rice recipe combines medium-grain rice with ranch seasoning, butter, and water for a flavorful, savory side. The rice is cooked in a single pot, first brought to boil then simmered covered until tender, and finally fluffed before resting to complete cooking and develop texture.

Description

Ranch Rice creates a savory rice dish by cooking dry medium-grain rice with a dry ranch seasoning mix, butter, and water in one pot. The cooking process involves bringing the mixture to a boil, then reducing heat to simmer covered, allowing the rice to absorb flavors while tenderizing evenly.

After simmering, the rice is fluffed to separate the grains and then allowed to sit covered off heat, which helps it finish cooking gently and improves texture. This dish provides a mildly seasoned accompaniment that pairs well with many main courses, adding a ranch-inspired taste without additional steps.
