Rizi-bizi

Rizi-bizi is a very popular Eastern-European side dish, particularly loved by children. It's a cross between the Italian Risi e Bisi and pea risotto. While the risotto is usually eaten as a first or main course,  Rizi-bizi is a side dish served with fried meat, meat-balls or stew. This Hungarian version is very easy to make, in fact it's an ideal way to use up leftover cooked rice.
