Start your meal with a light salad, then a beautiful bowl of this bright pea risotto (an added bonus if you can find little pea shoots to sprinkle on top) and a glass of crisp white wine.
Pea Puree:
- Fresh or frozen peas
- Chicken or vegetable stock
- Lemon juice
- Salt & pepper
Pea Risotto:
- Chicken or vegetable stock
- Extra virgin olive oil
- Shallot
- Garlic
- Arborio rice
- Dry white wine
Add the shallots and garlic to the pan and cook until soft and golden, 3-4 mins. Pour some salt in a small dish near the stove so you can season the risotto throughout the cooking process.
Add about 1/2 cup of warm stock at a time and stir until fully absorbed. Repeat the process, seasoning throughout with salt, until almost all of the liquid is added and absorbed.
