Additional tips for best result
- Toast the rice in the butter– this brings out the rices natural aromas and adds a richer flavour to the rice. Make sure you don’t burn the rice though, stir continuously to preven this.
- Don’t overcook- keep an eye on your rice to make sure it doesn’t overcook otherwise it will become mushy and you wont get a fluffy end result.
- Season your rice with salt and pepper whilst toasting
