Basmati Rice with Shiso

• 1 tablespoon butter
• 5 fresh shiso leaves
• 1 cup basmati rice
• Salt and black pepper to taste

1. Preheat the oven to 350F.
2. Melt the butter over medium heat in an ovenproof saucepan with a lid.
3. Chop two of the shiso leaves and cook them in the butter for 30 seconds.
4. Add the rice and cook, stirring, until the rice becomes transparent, just a couple of minutes.
5. Add 1 1/2 cups water and some salt and pepper.
6. Bring to a boil, cover, place in the oven, and set a timer for 10 minutes.
7. While the rice is cooking, mince the remaining shiso.
8. When the 10 minutes are up, remove the rice but do not uncover; let it rest in a warm place for another 10 minutes.
9. Stir in the remaining shiso, adjust the seasoning, and serve immediately.
