Green Pea Rice
Green Pea Rice
Here is my recipe for green pea rice. To add more flavor, I cook the rice in chicken broth and, toward the end of cooking, I add a little butter! It’s my little secret that makes all the difference! It’s perfect as a side dish with skewers or any cut of meat.Also, I don’t use canned peas. I find them too mushy. Frozen peas are sweeter and I prefer their texture. I highly recommend trying frozen peas for this recipe! Plus, they keep well in the freezer and can be used for many other great recipes.This recipe yields enough to serve as a side for 6 people.
