Tarragon Rice
Lime Tarragon Rice
3 T butter
1/3 cup minced shallots or onions
2 cups rice, I like jasmine
3 1/2 cups chicken stock
1 T lime or lemon juice
1 t dried tarragon
Zest of 2 limes or small lemons
Melt the butter in a large saucepan with a lid, 3 quarts or larger. Add the shallots and rice and saute for 4 to 5 minutes to cook the onions and coat the rice with butter, giving it a little bit of a nutty flavor. Add the chicken stock, lime juice, and tarragon. Bring to a boil, stirring, then cover and turn the burner down to low. Simmer for 15 minutes, try not to peek. Add the zest and a bit more tarragon and stir. Taste to see if you need additional salt. Enjoy!
