To trim sugar snap peas, pull at one end; the string will come off the entire pea. Ingredients:
2 tablespoons olive oil, divided |
1 cup finely chopped onion |
1/4 teaspoon sugar |
3 cups chopped spinach |
1 1/4 cups sugar snap peas, trimmed |
2 tablespoons minced fresh or 2 teaspoons dried rubbed sage |
1/4 teaspoon salt |
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground pepper |
1 garlic clove, minced |
3/4 cup water |
1 (14 1/2-ounce) can vegetable broth |
1 cup uncooked arborio or other short-grain rice |
1/4 cup dry white wine |
1/2 cup (2 ounces) grated fresh parmesan cheese |
Directions:
1. Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a large saucepan over medium-high heat. Add onion and sugar; sauté 30 seconds. Stir in spinach and next 5 ingredients (spinach through garlic); sauté 30 seconds or until spinach wilts. Remove spinach mixture from pan; set aside.
2. Bring water and broth to a simmer in a small saucepan (do not boil). Keep warm over low heat.
3. Heat 1 tablespoon oil in large saucepan; add rice. Cook 5 minutes, stirring constantly. Stir in wine; cook until wine is absorbed, stirring constantly. Stir in 1/2 cup broth mixture; cook 4 minutes or until the liquid is nearly absorbed, stirring constantly. Add remaining broth mixture, 1/2 cup at a time, stirring constantly, until each portion of broth is absorbed before adding the next (about 22 minutes total). Stir in spinach mixture and cheese; cook 1 minute or until thoroughly heated.
