Cover and simmer for 15 min. <BR/><BR/>Don't bother nuking the peas, throw them in with the boiling water, while the grain cooks. You could even add some chopped red bell peppers. <BR/><BR/>Instead of butter, try:<BR/> 3/4 t cinnamon + 3/4 t oregano + 1-2 T lemon juice <BR/>= OR =<BR/> 2 t cumin + 2 t corriander + 1 t dried basil + 2 galric cloves<BR/><BR/>You can use any dried fruit: golden raisins, prunes, currants, dried cranberries (unsweetened if you can find them).
