This recipe was a disaster! The rice was overcooked and the herb butter was way too salty.

Overall, I thought this recipe was just okay. The flavor was a bit bland for my taste.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my herb butter didn't emulsify. It just separated into oil and water.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my rice turned out a little dry. Maybe I didn't use enough water.

This rice was so good, I could have eaten the whole pot myself. The herb butter was the perfect finishing touch.

Not bad, but I think it would have been better with a stronger herb flavor.
