1/2 cup shelled fresh or frozen peas
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
6 green onions, thinly sliced
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
1 tablespoon grated lemon peel

Tips:

  • To make the perfect pot of fluffy, flavorful buttered rice, use a heavy-bottomed pot and medium-grain white rice.

  • Use a ratio of 1 cup rice to 1 3/4 cups water or broth.
  • Bring the rice and liquid to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 18-20 minutes, or until all of the liquid has been absorbed.
  • Once the rice is cooked, remove it from the heat and let it rest, covered, for 5 minutes before fluffing with a fork.
  • To make the perfect pot of buttered rice with peas, add 1 cup of frozen peas to the rice during the last 5 minutes of cooking.
  • You can also add other vegetables to your buttered rice, such as diced carrots, celery, or bell peppers.
  • For a more flavorful dish, use chicken broth or vegetable broth instead of water.
