1. 01

   Sauté Peas and Spices

   In a medium saucepan, add the peas, allspice, and salt. Cook for about 2 minutes, just until the peas start to warm through and the spices become fragrant.
2. 02

   Add Broth

   Pour in the chicken broth (or water, if you prefer). Stir everything together.
3. 03

   Simmer the Rice

   Bring the liquid to a simmer, then cover the pan and reduce the heat to low. Let it cook undisturbed for 20 minutes, or until all the liquid has been absorbed and the rice is tender.

   Toast Almonds

   While the rice simmers, melt a little butter in a small pan over medium heat. Add the almonds and a pinch of salt, then toast them, stirring frequently, until they turn golden brown and smell nutty. Set them aside until the rice is ready.
