Preparation

Step 1
Heat 2 tablespoons of the butter in a saucepan and add the onion. Cook until wilted. Add the rice and stir briefly.
Step 2
Add the water, bay leaf, salt, pepper and Tabasco. Bring to a boil, cover tightly and simmer 17 minutes.
Step 3
Meanwhile, combine the peas with the remaining 1 tablespoon of butter in a saucepan with salt and pepper. Heat, shaking the saucepan to redistribute the peas so they cook evenly, about 1 minute.
Step 4
Add the peas and parsley to the rice and stir with a fork to blend. Remove the bay leaf and serve.
