- Heat oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add garlic and shallot and cook, stirring often until softened and just beginning to brown, 1 to 3 minutes.
- Stir in rice and cook, stirring until the rice grains start to get translucent in spots, about 2 minutes.
- Stir in broth, salt and pepper. Increase heat to high and bring to a boil, stirring occasionally. Cover, reduce heat to low, and simmer undisturbed until most of the liquid has been absorbed, 35-40 minutes.
- Remove from heat, stir in peas, herbs, and 1 cup cheddar cheese. Cover and let sit for 5 minutes off the heat. Stir a final time and serve sprinkled with the remaining 1/4th cup cheese and more black pepper.
