The first time I tried Risi Bisi I was hooked.

It is a traditional venetian dish of rice and fresh peas cooked in chicken broth for a flavor and fluffy texture like no other I have tasted.

This is without a doubt my favorite rice and peas recipe to prepare and guess what guys I make it in the crock pot slow cooker.

Yep, slow cooker rice as a side dish to dinner that easy and inexpensive.

I prefer fresh peas but considering the time of year and price of produce I often use just a good old bag of peas from the freezer.
