How to Make Almond Rice
- In a medium saucepan, combine the rice, water, butter, and salt.
- Bring the mixture to a boil over high heat, stirring occasionally.
- Once boiling, reduce heat to low, cover the pan tightly, and simmer for 18-20 minutes, or until all the water is absorbed and the rice is tender.
- Remove from heat and let the rice stand, covered, for 5 minutes.
- Fluff the rice gently with a fork.
- While the rice is simmering, toast the sliced almonds in a dry skillet over medium heat until lightly golden brown and fragrant. Watch carefully to prevent burning.
- Gently fold the toasted almonds into the fluffy rice.
- Serve immediately and enjoy!
