directions

  • In a saucepan, heat butter over medium heat. Add onions and cook until wilted. Add rice and stir. Add water, bay leaf, salt, pepper, and hot sauce. Bring to a boil, cover and reduce heat to simmer. Cook 20 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, combine peas with the remaining tablespoon of butter, salt and pepper to taste. Heat while shaking and stirring the pan so the peas cook evenly for about 1 minute.
  • Add peas and parsley to rice; stir and serve.

  1. I loved this rice! It was super easy, yet really flavorful and lovely on the plate. I missed dividing the butter and did 3tbsp with the rice and 1tbsp with the peas. Certainly a little less healthy, but tasty none the less :) Made for the Gardening Forum Herb of the Month.
     
  2. Lovely recipe and so easy to make. I didn't have enough white rice, so I added in some wild rice. Worked well. I did put in a little more than the 1-1/2 cups of water. Read the directions through before starting...the butter is divided. 2 tbsp for the rice and 1 for the peas. Thanks for sharing. Made for the March Herb/Spice of the Month in the Gardening Forum
