Before you cook
- Before starting, wash hands with soap and water for 20 seconds. Rinse fresh produce under running water and use clean utensils.
- Check every packaged ingredient label for dietary requirements and allergens, including cross-contact notices. Choose products with no additional allergenic ingredients beyond the warnings listed here; otherwise these ingredient-based recommendations no longer apply. Listed tags apply only to the specified ingredients; they are not allergy-safe guarantees.
- Refrigerate perishable ingredients until needed. Refrigerate leftovers in shallow containers within 2 hours (within 1 hour above 90°F/32°C); reheat leftovers to 74°C/165°F.
Ingredients
- 3/4 cup dry long-grain white rice (Check package labels; use the specified dietary version and check additional allergens and cross-contact notices.)
- 1 cup frozen green peas (Check package labels; use the specified dietary version and check additional allergens and cross-contact notices.)
- 3 cups gluten-free vegan vegetable broth (Check package labels; use the specified dietary version and check additional allergens and cross-contact notices.)
- 1/2 medium yellow onion (finely diced)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley (chopped)
Cooking instructions
- Heat the gluten-free vegan vegetable broth to a simmer in a small saucepan and keep warm.
- Heat the olive oil in another saucepan on medium-low. Cook the yellow onion for 4 minutes, then stir the dry long-grain white rice for 1 minute.
- Add the warm broth a half cup at a time, stirring often and allowing each addition to mostly absorb. Continue for 20–25 minutes until the rice is tender; add the frozen green peas with the final broth addition.
- Remove from heat, stir in the lemon juice and fresh parsley and serve while loose and creamy.
