A delightful and aromatic rice dish infused with fresh herbs and spices, perfect as a side or a main course.
Heat the olive oil and butter in a skillet over medium heat.
Using a combination of butter and oil prevents the butter from burning while adding flavor.
Add the rice to the skillet and sauté until it starts to turn golden.
Stir the rice continuously to ensure even toasting and prevent sticking.
Mix in the chopped green onion and parsley, cooking for another minute.
Adding the herbs at this stage enhances their aroma and flavor.
Pour in the chicken broth, and add the cayenne pepper, bay leaf, and salt. Stir well.
Ensure the broth is evenly distributed for consistent cooking.
Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and cover the skillet tightly.
Keeping the lid on traps steam, cooking the rice evenly.
Cook for 15 minutes without lifting the lid.
Resist the urge to check the rice during cooking to maintain the steam.
Remove from heat and let the rice sit covered for 5 minutes.
Letting the rice rest allows it to absorb any remaining liquid and enhances the texture.
Fluff the rice with a fork and serve warm.
Fluffing with a fork separates the grains for a better presentation.
