Combine the rice, 1 3/4 cups water, the salt, and butter in a small heavy-bottomed saucepan.

Turn off the heat and allow the rice to sit covered for 5 minutes. Add the parsley, dill, scallions, and pepper. Fluff with a fork, and serve warm.

Tips:

Use high-quality ingredients. This means using fresh herbs, vegetables, and rice. It also means using a good quality olive oil.
Don't be afraid to experiment. There are many different ways to make rice with fresh herbs. Try different combinations of herbs and vegetables to find what you like best.
Make sure to cook the rice properly. Rice should be cooked until it is tender but still has a little bit of a bite to it. If you overcook the rice, it will become mushy.
Serve the rice immediately. Rice is best when it is served hot and fresh. If you let it sit for too long, it will start to dry out and become less flavorful.

Rice with fresh herbs is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that can be served as a side dish or main course. It is a great way to use up fresh herbs from your garden or CSA box. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can make a delicious and flavorful rice dish that the whole family will enjoy.
