3/4 cup of white rice
(you can also mix 75% white rice & 25% wild rice)
1 14.5-ounce can of chicken broth (1-3/4 cups)
1/2 cup of onion, diced small
1/2 cup of celery, diced small
1/2 to 1 cup of frozen green peas, depending on taste
1 teaspoon of salt
1/4 teaspoon of pepper
1/8 teaspoon of cayenne pepper
Start the broth heating in a saucepan.
Meanwhile, heat a large skillet on medium high heat with some olive oil. Add
the uncooked rice and cook a few minutes, stirring occasionally, until the rice
begins to brown.
Dice the onion and celery, and add them to the broth. Carefully empty the
slightly browned rice into the saucepan with the broth and vegetables. Bring to
a bubbling simmer, and cook until most of the broth is evaporated (about 15
minutes), stirring occasionally.
Add the frozen peas just before all the broth is gone to heat them through.
Then remove the saucepan from the heat and set aside, covered.
