re: Ideas for rice?

Side dishes:

1. Rice with butter, little salt, lot of fresh ground black pepper.
2. In a skillet add half stick of butter. Let melt then add one large onion chopped small. Cook onion till edges turn slightly brown, add more butter, add as much pepper as you want then add the rice. Salt to taste.
3. After adding more butter to onions add an 8 ounce can of drained green peas. Heat the peas then add the rice.

Bonus: leftover spaghetti sauce and meatball over rice.........no cheese.
