    Recipe Introduction


    Serves/Makes : 2 cups rice

    Flavor Packet (see below)
    2 T. butter
    2 1/2 cups hot water

    Recipe



    Melt the butter in a heavy saucepan over medium heat. Saute the
    rice, stirring constantly, until it takes on a translucent quality;
    do not let the kernels pop. Slowly stir in the water, then the Flavor
    Packet; bring to a full boil; cover and lower heat. Simmer 20 to 25
    minutes, or until nearly all of liquid is absorbed and the rice looks
    just a bit too moist to serve.

    Turn off heat and let stand for 10 minutes before uncovering and
    serving.
