Ingredients
- 4 ½ cups fat-free less-sodium chicken broth
- 8 ounces sugar snap peas trimmed and cut into 1-inch pieces
- 2 teaspoons olive oil
- 1 ½ cups leek about 2 medium leeks, thinly sliced
- 2 garlic minced, cloves
- 1 cup arborio rice or other medium-grain rice, uncooked
- 3 ounces ham about 3/4 cup, cooked, diced
- ½ cup Parmesan Cheese freshly grated
- ⅛ teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- Bring broth to a simmer in a medium saucepan (do not boil). Keep warm.
- Cook peas in boiling water 2 minutes or until crisp-tender. Drain and rinse with cold water until the peas are no longer warm to the touch.
- Heat oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add leek to pan; cook 5 minutes or until tender, stirring frequently. Add garlic; cook 30 seconds. Stir in rice; cook 1 minute. Add 1/2 cup chicken broth and cook 2 minutes or until liquid is nearly absorbed, stirring constantly. Add remaining broth 1/2 cup at a time, stirring constantly until each portion of broth is absorbed before adding the next (about 20 minutes total).
- Add ham to pan; cook 3 minutes or until thoroughly heated. Stir in peas, cheese, and pepper. Serve immediately.
Notes
- Quantity: I one-and-a-halved the recipe to feed my family of two adults and three children as a main dish.
