Ingredients:

• 1 ½ cup basmati rice;
• 3 cups of water;
• 2 tablespoons butter or olive oil;

Preparation

Rinse the rice well and put it into the pot in which you are going to cook it, and add all the ingredients except the peas. Bring to a boil, reduce heat and cook until done. The cooking time will depend on which particular rice you are using. If it is basmati, then it will be about 20 minutes, brown rice is brewed longer - 40-45 minutes.

In the finished rice, add thawed peas, cover and let stand for about 10 minutes. Before serving, you can add a little freshly chopped cilantro.
