Ingredients

3 tablespoons butter
4 tablespoons chopped onion
1 cup converted rice
1 1/2 cups water
1 bay leaf
Salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
4 drops Tabasco sauce or to taste
1 cup frozen peas
4 tablespoons finely chopped parsley

Steps:

Heat 2 tablespoons of the butter in a saucepan and add the onion. Cook until wilted. Add the rice and stir briefly.
Add the water, bay leaf, salt, pepper and Tabasco. Bring to a boil, cover tightly and simmer 17 minutes.
Meanwhile, combine the peas with the remaining 1 tablespoon of butter in a saucepan with salt and pepper. Heat, shaking the saucepan to redistribute the peas so they cook evenly, about 1 minute.
Add the peas and parsley to the rice and stir with a fork to blend. Remove the bay leaf and serve.
