Saraosta's ... Favorite Creamy Rice and Peas

1. 1

   Rice -- Use whatever method you want and whatever type of rice you want for this dish - that is not what is important.

2. 2

   You want around 3 cups.

3. 3

   A little more is fine, this isn't an exact recipe.

4. 4

   Sauce -- As the rice cooks, heat up the cream, shallot, and cheese in a small bowl or measuring cup in the microwave for just 1 minute on medium heat.

5. 5

   Finish -- Add the warm sauce to the cooked rice along with the fresh thyme, salt and pepper.

6. 6

   Mix well to combine.

7. 7

   If you want it a bit creamier, add more cream.

8. 8

   NOTE: I just like to heat the cream first, just a few seconds in the microwave, so it is warm when I add it to the rice.

9. 9

   Serve -- Garnish with a little cheese if you want and serve.

10. 10

    It goes with just about anything.

    ENJOY!
