Cilantro Serrano Chile Rice - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    1 3/4 cups chicken stock (recommend Pacific Organic)
    1 teaspoon salt
    1 cup aromatic white rice (Texmati)
    1 tablespoon softened unsalted butter
    1/2 medium white onion, minced
    2 serrano chilies, stemmed, seeded, and minced
    1/4 cup minced cilantro leaf
Preparation
    Use a one-quart saucepan over high heat. Combine chicken stock, salt and rice. Bring the mixture to a boil and stir well. Cover the pan and reduce heat to very low. Simmer until all the water is absorbed, 15-18 minutes. (Warning - black rice takes MUCH longer. Don't put the steaks in until the rice is pretty much done if you're using black rice).
    Combine the butter, onion, chile, and cilantro in a small bowl. Stir this mixture into the hot rice until butter melts. Cover the pan and let it stand for five minutes. Serve.
