Directions:
- Rinse the rice.
- Preheat oven to 180°C.
- Make a cartouch to fit a medium round casserole dish; cut a circle of greaseproof paper, slightly larger than the dish, and snip a tiny hole in the centre to make a steam vent.
- Melt two thirds of the butter in the flameproof casserole dish and saute the onion for about 5 minutes, until softened.
- Add the rice and stir well, then add the herbs, whole spices and lemon or orange zest.
- Cook for a minute or two.
- Bring the stock to a boil, using the larger volume if you prefer a more tender grain.
- Mix the stock into the rice along with the salt and pepper to taste.
- Press on the cartouche, turning the edges up and pressing them to the side of the pan for a neat fit.
- Make sure the vent is visible.
- There is no need to cover with a lid.
- Bake in the oven for about 25 minutes.
- Remove from the oven, allow to stand for 5 minutes, and then remove the cartouch.
- Fork through the remaining butter until the rice grains are fluffy and separate, removing the whole spices before serving if you prefer.
