For a richer flavor, brown the butter before sautéing the rice. If you don't have pecans, walnuts or almonds also work well. Freshly squeezed orange juice is key for the best flavor! Bottled juice doesn't have the same vibrancy. To toast pecans, spread them on a baking sheet and bake at 350°F (175°C) for 5-7 minutes, or until fragrant and lightly browned. Watch carefully so they don't burn!
