- 30 minutes to make
- Serves 3
A favored side dish, we like it with grilled fish or chicken. Very easy and a snap to fix.
Ingredients
- 1/4 cup of butter shopping list
- 1 small onion chopped shopping list
- 1 slice of bacon diced shopping list
- 1 stalk of celery chopped shopping list
- 2 cups of peas shopping list
- 1/2 cup diced cooked ham shopping list
- 3/4 cup of rice, short grain shopping list
- 1 3/4 cups of chicken stock shopping list
- 1 teaspoon of salt shopping list
- 1/4 teaspoon of pepper shopping list
- 2 tablespoons of parmesan cheese shopping list
How to make it
- In a heavy sauce pan, heat butter. Add onion, bacon and celery, saute for 5 minutes, until onion is golden and bacon is cooked.
- Add peas and 1/2 cup of ham. Cook a couple of minutes.
- Add rice and stir well to coat each grain with some of the butter, a few minutes at best.
- Add stock and seasonings. Bring to a rapid boil, cover and turn the heat to low and cook very slowly for 25 minutes until the rice is tender and the liquid is nearly absorbed.
- The rice and peas should be quite moist at this point.
- Stir in parmesan cheese and serve.
- Pass extra parmesan to add to individual servings if desired.
