Step 1
Begin by assembling all the essential ingredients for this delightful dish.
Step 2
In a pot, gently melt the butter over low heat, allowing its rich aroma to fill the air.
Step 3
Introduce the rice, stirring it well to ensure each grain is coated in the luscious butter.
Step 4
Let the rice toast on low heat for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally until it achieves a light golden hue, careful not to let it burn.
Step 5
Next, pour in the chicken broth, followed by the zesty lemon juice, a pinch of salt, and the fragrant bay leaves.
Step 6
Raise the heat to bring this flavorful mixture to a vigorous boil, allowing it to bubble away for 5 minutes.
Step 7
Once boiling, reduce the heat to a gentle simmer, cover the pot, and let it work its magic for 20 minutes without lifting the lid.
Step 8
After this time, remove the pot from the heat and let it rest, still covered, for an additional 10 minutes.
Step 9
Finally, take a fork and fluff the rice, releasing its steam and inviting its warm, inviting texture to shine.
Step 10
Serve it up warm and enjoy the comforting flavors that dance on your palate.
