Ingredients:
1 tablespoon olive oil

2 cups short-grain rice
4 cups chicken stock or 4 cups vegetable stock
2 cups carnation evaporated milk (regular, 2%, or fat-free)
1 cup frozen peas, defrosted
1/2 cup parmesan cheese, grated
1/4 cup fresh chives, chopped
3 tablespoons basil, chopped
1 tablespoon mint, chopped
1 tablespoon lemon zest
Directions:
1. Heat oil in a large saucepan on medium heat. Add onion and garlic and cook gently for 5 minutes. Add rice and coat with onion mixture.
2. Meanwhile combine stock and Carnation milk in a saucepan. Heat until just simmering.
3. Add 1 cup stock mixture to rice. Stirring constantly, cook on medium-high heat until all liquid has been absorbed or has evaporated. Continue to add stock mixture 1/2 cup at a time.
