• 3/4 cup sliced scallions
• 1/4 cup shredded cheese
• 1/4 cup sliced fresh mint
• Freshly ground pepper to taste

Directions:

Bring broth to a boil in a large saucepan over high heat. Add rice and bring to a simmer; cover, reduce heat to medium-low and cook for 4 minutes.

Cover, reduce heat till the rice has absorbed most of the liquid, about 6 minutes.

Remove from heat and stir in peas, scallions, cheese, mint, and pepper. Cover and let stand until the liquid is absorbed, 3 to 5 minutes.
