Quinoa is higher in protein but may be more expensive.

Wash 2 cups of basmati rice until the water runs clear to remove excess starch.

In a pot, add the washed rice and coat it with butter, sautéing for a few minutes.

Add chopped shallots to the rice for flavor.

Pour in homemade chicken stock and add salt to taste.

Cover the pot with a tight-fitting lid and reduce heat to the lowest setting.

Cook for 15 minutes without lifting the lid.

After 15 minutes, remove from heat and let it sit covered for 10 minutes to steam.

Fluff the rice with a fork before serving.
