Working time approx. 5 minutes; Rest time approx. 5 minutes; Cooking/baking time approx. 25 minutes; Total time approx. 35 minutes

Turkish-style rice

Briefly wash the rice and then pour hot water over it in a bowl for 5 minutes. Then drain it in a fine sieve. Heat the butter in a pan/pot and add the rice. Fry it in the butter for a good 3 minutes, then add salt. Fry for another minute, then add the cold water (the water should be about 1 cm above the rice, so add a little more water if needed) and bring to a boil briefly while stirring. Now put the lid on the pot and reduce the heat to the lowest setting. Let it stand for 15-20 minutes, but do not stir. Once the water has evaporated, turn off the heat and let the rice rest for another 5 minutes. The jar holds 200 ml.
