Ranch Rice
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.
Ingredients
- 1 cup rice dry, medium grain
- 2 tablespoons ranch seasoning dry
- 1 tablespoon butter
