Mint-flavored peas with brown rice are a British delicacy that get a little help from feta cheese crumbles in this diabetes-friendly dish that can double as an appetizer or side dish.
Ingredients
- 1 1/4 cup(s) reduced-sodium chicken broth
- 3/4 cup(s) instant brown rice
- 1 1/2 cup(s) frozen peas (6 oz)
