Ingredients :                

·         6 tbsp. unsalted butter

·         3/4 c. finely chopped onion

·         1.5 c. rice, uncooked

·         4.5 c. chicken broth, heated

·         2 c. fresh peas or 1 10-oz. package

·         frozen peas, thawed

·         salt and pepper to taste

·         1 tbsp. finely chopped fresh parsley

·         1/2 c. grated Parmesan cheese 

How To Make :

·         Heat 4 tbsp. of the butter in a large saucepan over medium heat. When it is sizzling, stir in onion, reduce heat to low, and cook, stirring constantly, for 5 minutes.

·         Add rice and cook, stirring occasionally, until the rice is no longer see-through.

·         Add 1/2 c. of the broth and cook, stirring, for about 2 minutes.

·         Add peas, 2 c. of broth, salt, and pepper. Cover, raise heat to high, and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium and cook, stirring occasionally with a fork, until all of the broth is absorbed.

·         Add 1 c. of broth. When this is absorbed, add the last of the broth and cook until the rice and peas are tender (probably about 15 to 20 minutes).

·         Add parsley, Parmesan cheese, and the remaining butter. Mix lightly and serve immediately in soup bowls.
