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!

Time 25m

Number Of Ingredients 11

Ingredients

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.

Tips:

Use fresh, high-quality ingredients. Fresh peas have a sweeter, more delicate flavor than frozen or canned peas. If you're using frozen peas, thaw them before cooking.
Cook the peas until they are tender but still slightly firm. Overcooked peas will lose their flavor and texture.
Use a good quality broth. The broth you use will add a lot of flavor to the dish, so choose a broth that you like the taste of.
Season the dish to taste. Add salt, pepper, and other seasonings to taste. You can also add a squeeze of lemon juice or a dollop of sour cream for extra flavor.
Serve the dish immediately. Creamy peas and rice is best served hot and fresh.

Conclusion:

Creamy peas and rice is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a quick weeknight meal. It's also a great way to use up leftover rice. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can create a flavorful and satisfying meal that the whole family will enjoy.
