Rice is a staple at my house...love this version with the heartiness of bacon. Much more than a simple side dish.

How To Make venetian rice

Step 1

Cook the bacon in a medium skillet until crispy; remove bacon, discarding drippings. Drain the bacon on paper towels; set aside.

Step 2

Saute onion in butter in the skillet over medium heat until tender. Add the peas and rice; stir well. Add the chicken broth, salt, and pepper. Stir well.
Step 3

Bring to a boil, cover, and reduce heat to a simmer. Simmer for 20 minutes or until the rice is tender and the liquid is absorbed. Add the reserved bacon and Parmesan cheese, and stir well. Serve immediately.
