RISI E BISI (ITALIAN RICE AND PEAS) (RICE COOKER)



Risi E Bisi (Italian Rice and Peas) (Rice Cooker) image

I love this recipe. You can use fresh or frozen peas with this. Using fresh peas, add them at the beginning. If you are using very young and tender fresh peas or frozen- add at the end. You can expect this rice to have the texture and consistency of a creamy risotto. From The Ultimate Rice Cooker Cookbook.

Categories     Medium Grain Rice

Time 35m

Yield 4-5 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 tablespoon olive oil

JEWISH-ITALIAN CHICKEN & PEAS



Jewish-Italian Chicken & Peas image

From The Ultimate Book of Main Course Dishes by Jenni Fleetwood. I made some Jewish recipes for Hanukkah, and this turned out to be my favorite. The best thing about this dish is the creamy sauce.., which contains no milk or cream at all! Potato latkes taste incredible with this sauce, but you can also serve this dish with pasta, mashed potatoes, or even just a piece of crusty bread.
