BAKED ESSENTIALS: PARMESAN, CILANTRO, LIME RICE

Steps:

• 1. PREP/PREPARE
• 2. I like my rice a bit cheesier, so I usually add 1 or 2 tablespoons additional parmesan.
• 3. Why use the oven? Rice can be a tricky thing to make on the stovetop. If you get the temp a bit too hot, you wind up with burnt, or dried rice on the bottom of the pot. Using a rice cooker, or your oven, practically guarantees that your rice will turn out perfect, every time.
• 4. You will need an ovenproof saucepan, with a tight-fitting lid.
• 5. Gather your Ingredients (mise en place).
• 6. Place a rack in the bottom position and preheat your oven to 325f (165c).
• 7. Add 1 tablespoon of the butter to a medium-sized ovenproof saucepan, over medium heat.
• 8. When the butter melts, add the rice.
• 9. Cook in the butter, until the rice begins to become translucent, about 3 - 5 minutes.
• 10. Chef's Note: Keep stirring, and do not let the rice brown, or burn.
• 11. Add the hot chicken stock, and the salt, and stir to combine.
• 12. Cover and place into the oven, until all the liquid has been absorbed, about 15 - 20 minutes.
• 13. Remove from the oven, and let sit, covered, for 5 minutes. Add the butter, parmesan, lime juice, and cilantro, then fluff with a fork,
• 14. Chef's Tip: Melt the butter in the microwave before adding.
• 15. PLATE/PRESENT
• 16. Serve while nice and hot. Enjoy.
• 17. Keep the faith, and keep cooking.
