“I found this recipe while searching for something with peas that was different from what I usually serve guests, says Dorothy Pritchett of Wills Point, Texas. It's colorful, tasty and could go with a variety of entrees.”
Ingredients:
1/4 cup chopped onion
1 tablespoon butter
3/4 cup uncooked long grain rice
1 small sweet red pepper, finely chopped
1-1/2 cups reduced-sodium chicken broth or vegetable broth
1/4 cup white wine or additional reduced-sodium chicken broth
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
1/8 teaspoon pepper
1 cup frozen peas
1/4 cup plus 1 tablespoon grated parmesan cheese, divided
Directions:
1. In a large saucepan coated with cooking spray, saute onion in butter for 1 minute. Add rice and red pepper; cook and stir for 3-4 minutes or until rice is lightly browned.
2. Stir in the broth, wine, thyme and pepper. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; cover and simmer for 15 minutes.
3. Stir in peas; cover and simmer 3-5 minutes longer or until rice is tender and peas are heated through. Stir in 1/4 cup cheese. Sprinkle remaining cheese over the top. Yield: 6 servings.
