Rizzy Bizzy is a rice and green peas side dish we often had growing up. My mother usually served it with chicken or pork cutlets, but it will go with just about anything.
Tip : You can also add 1 cup frozen peas to the rice about 5 minutes before the rice is fully cooked. Just add on top of the rice and cover with a lid. Then as the peas defrost, stir to combine with rice.
Ingredients
- 1 tbsp unsalted butter
- 1/2 cup basmati rice
