1/2 yellow bell pepper

In a large saucepan, stir rice with undiluted chicken broth, 1 soup can of water and tarragon. Bring to a boil. Stir, then cover and reduce heat to low. Simmer 15 minutes.
Meanwhile, finely chop peppers. Thinly slice onion. Once rice has simmered 15 minutes, stir in cream. Cover and continue to simmer until most of liquid is absorbed, 5 minutes.

Here's an easy risotto-like side dish flecked with colourful red, yellow and green peppers and tarragon. It looks gorgeous and takes much less work than a traditional recipe.
Make Ahead
Prepare dish, then refrigerate until cold. Cover and refrigerate up to 2 days or freeze up to 1 month. Defrost before reheating. (It will take 2 days to defrost in the refrigerator.) If rice is too dry, use a fork to stir in more milk, water or broth, 1 tbsp (15 mL) at a time, while reheating, until rice is as creamy as you like.
