Scale

Ingredients

  • 1 cup long-grain white rice
  • 1 cup corn kernels (fresh, canned, or frozen)
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 2 cups water
  • Salt, to taste

Instructions

  1. Cook Rice: Rinse the rice under cold water until the water runs clear. In a medium saucepan, combine the rice, 2 cups of water, and a pinch of salt. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 15-18 minutes or until the rice is tender and water is absorbed.
  2. Add Corn and Butter: Once the rice is cooked, stir in the corn kernels and butter while the rice is still hot. Mix well until the butter melts and evenly coats the rice and corn, creating a rich and creamy texture. Adjust salt to taste.

Notes

  • You can use fresh, canned, or frozen corn; if using frozen, thaw before adding.
  • For added flavor, consider sautéing the corn in butter before mixing into the rice.
  • Optional: garnish with chopped parsley or a sprinkle of black pepper.
