Method
Heat the stock in a small pot and keep it simmering. Chop the onion very finely and the parsley.
Warm the olive oil in a wide pot over medium heat, add the onion and soften for 4 minutes without browning.
Add the rice and stir for 1 minute, then add the frozen peas and a ladle of hot stock.
Cook over medium-low heat for 16 to 18 minutes, adding a ladle of stock whenever it is absorbed, until the rice is tender and the dish is moist and creamy, like a thick soup.
Stir in the parsley, taste for salt and pepper and serve, with grated Parmesan on top if you eat it.
