It was fantastic - just what I needed.
So, what'd I do?
First, I brought out a deep but small saucepan and set some olive oil and a drizzle of sesame oil to warming. On my old stove in Florida, it would have been medium heat. On this ancient stove in CT, it's on high.

Then, I grabbed two decent-size shallots and sliced them. I didn't bother dicing them or chopping them into small pieces. I then put the shallots into the pot to saute.

When the shallots had sauteed for a bit, I started putting in chicken broth. I ultimately used two cans of salt-free Swanson's broth. You can pretty much use anything.

I put one cup of Jasmine rice into the mixture and started it bubbling away. I added broth when it needed it.

Toward the end, I added in about 1/3 cup of grated parmesan cheese and 1 can of peas:

I then stirred in some Celtic sea salt and ground some Grains of Paradise over the mixture. If I'd had lemon, I would have added it.
