Burnt Butter Rice

 

A Greek favorite...
 

4 cups 

 

chicken broth

 

2 cups 

 

long-grain white rice

 

½ cup 

 

butter

 

 

 

salt to taste

 

 

1

Place the chicken broth and rice in a large pot. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover and simmer for 20 minutes.

2

During the last 5 minutes of the rice, melt the butter in a small skillet over medium-high heat until it browns and the foam starts to clear. It will be a dark brown, similar to chocolate.

3

After the rice has simmered for the 20 minutes, remove it from heat. Pour the burnt butter over it, being careful not to splatter. Do not stir into the rice. Replace the lid, and let stand for 15 minutes. Stir and season with salt to taste before serving.
