Persian-ish Rice

This was super simple and delicious! My cooking time was about 8-10 minutes shorter than hers (and the rice was getting dark/plenty cooked). I felt I could have reduced the butter by a teaspoons or so - perhaps because I only used an 8 inch cast iron for a half recipe? It was very buttery and we could not stop picking off it! I used Lotus Foods Organic Red Rice instead of basmati with excellent results. I did add parsley, cilantro and dill for the Herbed Rice variation.
