Ingredients

1 tablespoon olive oil
1 tablespoon butter
3 garlic cloves
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 cups long-grain white rice
2 1/4 cups reduced-sodium chicken broth
1 1/2 cups fresh peas or 1 1/2 cups thawed frozen peas
1/4 cup chopped flat leaf parsley
fresh ground black pepper

Directions

1

Put olive oil and butter in a 10-in. frying pan over medium-high heat. Cook until butter melts.
2

Add garlic and salt and cook, stirring, until fragrant, 1 to minutes.
3

Add rice and cook, stirring, until rice is opaque.
4

Add broth, stir and turn heat to high. Bring to a boil, cover, reduce heat to low, and simmer undisturbed while rice absorbs liquid, about 15 minutes (then remove cover to check).
5

Remove cover, quickly add peas (leave peas on top, do not stir), and return cover. Take off heat and let sit 5 minutes. Remove cover, add parsley, and fluff with a fork. Serve hot, sprinkled with pepper to taste.
