CREAMY PEAS & RICE



Creamy Peas & Rice image

It was just the Son & I tonight, so he asked if I'd make him this side rice dish...I make his a meal, by adding some browned sausage to it...I usually serve this with pork, although it would be a great side with any meat... Enjoy!

Categories     Rice Sides

Time 25m

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 Tbsp butter
1 c sliced mushrooms - i use baby bella's
2 Tbsp chopped onion
1 clove garlic, minced
10 - 12 oz frozen peas, thawed
1 -10.4 oz cream of mushroom soup or chicken would be good as well
1 1/2 c instant rice
1 1/2 c milk or more if needed
salt & pepper to taste
green onion, sliced for garnish
OTHER ADD INS I'VE USED IS PARM CHEESE, BROWNED SAUSAGE, CHOPPED HAM, RED PEPPER FLAKES

Steps:

  • 1. In a large skillet, melt butter and add to the pan the mushrooms, onion and garlic. Salt & pepper. Saute until lightly browned.
  • 2. Add the milk, soup, peas and rice, bring to a boil, then simmer 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. If more milk is needed add to your liking. Sometimes the rice will absorb more than expected. You want it creamy - not dry.
  • 3. Place lid on pan and turn off burner. Let set for 5 minutes or until rice is tender. This is where I would add desired add ins if using. Serve immediately.

CAULIFLOWER "RISOTTO" WITH SNAP PEAS AND MUSHROOMS



Cauliflower

When the cauliflower risotto trend started, I was the first in line to buy a ticket and hop on the train. I keep bags of cauliflower rice in my freezer, and whenever I need a quick side dish, especially on a weeknight, I saute it in a skillet with a little butter. For something a little more special, I like to cook it in the style of "risotto," like this. It gets creamy and, while not exactly like the real thing, it certainly does the trick.

Provided by Katie Lee Biegel

Time 45m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 head cauliflower, stem removed
4 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 clove garlic, smashed but left whole
8 ounces sliced cremini mushrooms
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 1/2 cups low-sodium chicken or vegetable broth
1 cup sugar snap peas, thinly sliced on a bias, plus additional for garnish
1 cup pea shoots, plus additional for garnish
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese

Steps:

  • Cut the cauliflower into chunks. Working in batches, pulse the cauliflower in a food processor until coarse in texture, like rice. Reserve 4 cups for this recipe and save any leftovers for another use.
  • In a large skillet over medium heat, melt 3 tablespoons of the butter with the garlic. Stir in the mushrooms and cook until browned, 5 to 7 minutes. Remove and discard the garlic, then season the mushrooms with salt and pepper.
  • Increase the heat to medium-high and stir in the cauliflower. Saute for 1 to 2 minutes. Add 1 cup of the broth and simmer until the liquid has mostly evaporated, 1 to 2 minutes.
  • Stir in the sugar snaps, remaining broth and salt to taste. Add pea shoots. Simmer until the liquid is almost gone, 3 to 4 minutes. Remove from the heat and stir in the remaining 1 tablespoon butter and half of the cheese, stirring until the cheese has melted. Adjust seasonings. Stir in the remaining cheese. Serve hot.

HERBY RICE SALAD WITH PEAS AND PROSCIUTTO



Herby Rice Salad With Peas and Prosciutto image

This bright, lemony salad laced with fresh herbs is a passport to spring. Simmering the rice in plenty of salted water just until it's al dente and then cooling it well is key. Blanched fresh peas are terrific if you can find them, but frozen work just fine. The trick is marinating them in lemony olive oil, a technique borrowed from the Michigan chef Abra Berens, who uses it in her comprehensive book "Ruffage: A Practical Guide to Vegetables" (Chronicle Books, 2019). The prosciutto adds a nice salty hit, but you could sub in a dollop of creamy ricotta or leave both out for your vegan friends. Either way, the recipe delivers a bright salad that can stand in for a light meal.

Time 30m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

Flaky sea salt
2 cups long-grain white rice
3 cups shelled peas, briefly blanched (if fresh) or raw (if frozen)
1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
A few thick slices of red onion (these will be removed, so you want them big enough to locate for removal; they are like the booster rockets you leave behind on your way into rice-salad outer space)
2 lemons, zested and juiced, plus additional lemon wedges
1/4 teaspoon red-pepper flakes
1/2 cup slivered basil, plus more to taste
1/2 cup slivered mint, plus more to taste
1/4 cup chopped parsley, plus more to taste
2 or 3 tablespoons sliced chives (or 1 to 2 tablespoons of finely chopped red onion), plus more to taste
12 to 16 slices of prosciutto (optional)
Fresh ricotta (preferably a local or all-natural brand), for serving (optional)

Steps:

  • Prepare the rice: Bring a large pot of water to a rolling boil and salt it. Stir in the rice. When the water returns to a boil, reduce the heat to low, cover and cook the rice at a gentle simmer for about 15 minutes, or until tender but still a bit firm and not at all mushy. Drain the rice in a colander set in the sink, then transfer it to a large bowl. You can refrigerate it after this step or use it once it has cooled completely.
  • Meanwhile, in a large bowl, combine the peas, olive oil, sliced onion, lemon zest and juice, red-pepper flakes and ½ teaspoon salt. Allow to marinate, refrigerated, for 20 minutes or up to 3 days.
  • Remove the sliced onion from the pea mixture and discard. Add 5 cups of the cooled or refrigerated rice to the pea mixture, along with the basil, mint, parsley and chives; toss gently to combine. Taste for salt and lemon juice. This is important - get it the way you want it. If the ratio needs a bit more rice, add it from whatever is left. (You should have another cup or so.) You may also wish to add more herbs.
  • Serve in shallow bowls, draping a couple of slices of prosciutto alongside for each person. Alternatively, a spoonful of really good ricotta on top is also delicious. Or, serve with both prosciutto and ricotta - although vegetarians and vegans will enjoy this dish without the meat or dairy. Set out lemon wedges to squeeze to taste.

Tips:

  • Choose the right rice: Long-grain rice, such as basmati or jasmine, is best for this recipe because it cooks up fluffy and separate.
  • Rinse the rice before cooking: This removes the starch from the rice, which helps prevent it from becoming sticky.
  • Use a heavy-bottomed pot: This will help distribute the heat evenly and prevent the rice from burning.
  • Bring the rice to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and simmer: This will help the rice cook evenly and prevent it from boiling over.
  • Add the peas and herbs towards the end of cooking: This will help preserve their flavor and color.
  • Fluff the rice with a fork before serving: This will help separate the grains and make the rice light and fluffy.

Conclusion:

Creamy rice with peas and herbs is a delicious and versatile side dish that can be served with a variety of main courses. It is also a good source of fiber and protein.
