Directions

Melt 1 Tablespoon of butter in a large saucepan (with a lid) over medium heat. Add in the onion and a pinch of salt. Saute until tender and translucent, about 5 minutes.
Add in the remaining 2 Tablespoons of butter. Once melted, stir in the rice until coated.
Add in 4 cups of water, the golden raisins, dill seed, and 2 teaspoons of salt. Bring to a boil.
Reduce the heat to a low. Cover and let simmer until the water is absorbed, about 12 minutes.
Stir in 1 cup of the chopped dill.
Return the lid to the saucepan and continue cooking until the rice is cooked through and fluffy, about 8-10 minutes more. Top with more fresh dill and a squeeze of fresh lemon before serving.
