Rinse and prep
Cutting Board

Rest the rice

Remove the rice from heat and let it stand, covered, for 5 minutes so it becomes soft and fluffy.

When uncovering the saucepan, lift the lid away from your face and hands to avoid steam burns.

While the rice cooks, warm olive oil and 2 tablespoons butter in a large skillet over medium heat; add the leeks and remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt, then cook for 8 to 10 minutes until soft and buttery.

Keep the butter over medium heat and stir as needed to prevent scorching.
