Stovetop Basmati Rice

Ingredients

  • 1 cup basmati rice

  • 1-2 tablespoons olive oil

  • 1 ½ cups water

  • kosher salt

Directions

  1. Put the rice in a bowl and rinse with cold water 4 to 5 times or until the water runs clear.

  2. In a medium cooking pot or saucepan, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. When the oil shimmers a bit, add the rice. Toss for a bit until the rice is well coated with the oil. Season with a good pinch of kosher salt.

  3. Add the water

  4. Bring the water to a boil. Turn the heat to low and cover the pot and leave it alone for 15 to 20 minutes. The rice will cook through and absorb all the water.

  5. Turn the heat off. Leave the rice covered and undisturbed for 5 more minutes. Fluff the rice up with a fork and serve.
