1 lb. cooked ham
2 tbsp. butter
1 lg. onion, chopped
1 1/2 c. long grain rice
1 pkg. frozen peas
3 c. chicken or beef broth
3/4 c. Parmesan cheese
Additional butter to taste (opt.)
Salt & pepper to taste

Cut ham into squares. Set aside. Heat butter in heavy lidded casserole. Add onion and saute for 2 minutes until tender. Stir in rice. Mix until rice is evenly coated with butter. Add ham and frozen peas, then add broth. Bring to boiling; stir once, cover and turn heat down to low. Cook for 20 minutes. Rice should absorb all the liquid in this time. Fold in Parmesan cheese. Add butter, if desired. Taste. Add salt and pepper, if necessary. Serve immediately.
