Ingredients

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Place rice and chicken stock in a Dutch oven (or other large, oven-safe pot), stir, and cover. Bake for 45 minutes, until most of the liquid is absorbed and rice is tender.
  • Remove from the oven and stir in the butter, Parmesan cheese, pesto, and wine. Stir for 2-3 minutes, or until the rice is thick and creamy. Add salt, to taste. Stir in the peas until heated through. Serve immediately.
  • Variations: stir in shredded, cooked chicken or grilled, chopped salmon along with the peas at the very end.
