Step 1
Start by combining the rice and water in a saucepan and bringing it to a boil. Once boiling, cover the pan, turn the heat down to low, and let it simmer until the rice is tender and all the water has soaked in. Set it aside to cool while you get everything else ready.

Step 2
Next, melt the butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Toss in the chopped onion and garlic, cooking and stirring occasionally until they smell amazing and start to turn golden. Then, add the cooked rice to the skillet, stirring well to coat it all in butter and to heat it through. Finally, take the pan off the heat and mix in the lemon juice for a nice bright finish.
