8. 8

   After 15 minutes of simmering, stir in the frozen peas. Replace the lid and continue to cook.

   Körülbelül 1 p

   A szakács megjegyzése: Adding the peas near the end keeps them bright green and prevents them from getting mushy.

9. 9

   Simmer for another 5-10 minutes, or until the rice is tender and has absorbed most of the liquid. The stew should be thick but still moist.

   Körülbelül 10 p

   A szakács megjegyzése: If it looks too dry, you can add a small splash of water or broth.

10. 10

    Remove the pot from the heat and let it rest, covered, for 5 minutes.

    Körülbelül 5 p

    A szakács megjegyzése: Resting allows the flavors to meld and the remaining liquid to be absorbed.
