Ingredients:

Serving

2 cups low-sodium chicken broth
1 tbsp butter
1/2 tsp salt
1 cup uncooked basmati rice
1 (15 1/2-oz.) can black-eyed peas, rinsed and drained
1 1/2 tsp lemon zest
2 green onions, thinly sliced

Directions:

Bring broth, butter, and salt to a boil over medium-high heat in a large saucepan. Stir in rice; cover, reduce heat to low, and simmer 20 minutes or until broth is absorbed and rice is tender. Remove from heat, and stir in peas and zest using a fork. Cover and let stand 5 minutes. Sprinkle with onions.

Basmati Rice and Pigeon Peas: Substitute 1 (15-oz.) can green pigeon peas for black-eyed peas. Proceed with recipe as directed.
