Directions

Prep 5 minCook 20 min

1
Rinse the rice under cold water in a fine-mesh strainer until the water runs mostly clear; drain well.
2
Bring the water to a boil in a medium saucepan. Stir in the rinsed rice and salt.
3
Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer until the water is absorbed and the rice is tender, about 15 minutes.
4
While the rice cooks, thaw the peas by rinsing under cool water and draining well. Finely chop the mint.
5
Remove the saucepan from heat and gently fold in the peas, chopped mint, and black pepper.
6
Cover and let stand for 5 minutes to warm the peas through and meld flavors.
7
Fluff with a fork and taste; add more salt and pepper if desired. Serve warm.
