Directions
Cook onion in butter in large skillet over medium heat until soft. Add rice and saffron; stir 2 to 3 minutes. Add wine; stir until absorbed. Increase heat to medium high; stir in 1 cup broth. Cook, uncovered, stirring frequently, until broth is absorbed. Continue stirring and adding remaining 1 cup broth and water, allowing each cup to be absorbed before adding another, until rice is tender and mixture has a creamy consistency. It will take approximately 25 to 30 minutes.
Stir in peas, cheese, salt, cream, lemon juice and pepper sauce; serve immediately.
