Cooking Time: 50 minutes

Ingredients

• 2 Tablespoons (tbsp) olive oil
• 2 Tablespoons (tbsp) onion, minced
• 0.25 Cups green peas
• 1 Whole bay leaf
• 1.5 Cups dry jasmine rice
• 3 Cups water
• 1 Pinch salt, to taste

Steps

1. In a large saucepan over medium-low heat, warm the olive oil. Add the minced onion and sauté for 3 to 5 minutes until translucent.
2. Mix in the green peas, bay leaf, and jasmine rice. Stir well to coat the rice with the oil.
3. Pour 3 cups of water into the saucepan and add salt to taste. Increase the heat to medium and bring the mixture to a quick simmer.
4. Reduce the heat to low and let the rice simmer lightly, uncovered, until all the liquid is absorbed.
5. Once the liquid is absorbed, cover the saucepan and remove it from the heat. Let the rice sit for about 40 minutes to allow the flavors to meld and the rice to become tender.
