Ingredients:
| 1 tablespoon | unsalted butter |
| 3 to 4 | scallions, sliced thinly |
| 2 cups | long-grain rice |
| 1 teaspoon | salt |
| 1/2 teaspoon | freshly ground black pepper |
| 1/4 cup | chopped fresh parsley |
| 1/2 teaspoon | lemon zest, optional |
Directions:
Heat the butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add the scallions and saute for 2 to 3 minutes. Add the rice and stir until the rice is fully coated with butter.
Add 3 cups water and bring to a boil. Add the salt and pepper, cover and reduce the heat to a simmer. Cook until the liquid is absorbed and the rice is al dente, 18 to 20 minutes.
Remove from the heat; fluff the rice with a fork; and stir in the parsley and the lemon zest, if using.
