Master the art of risotto with this simple and delightful pea-infused recipe.
Ingredients:
  • 2 litres chicken style liquid stock
  • 125.00 gm dry white wine
  • 40g butter
  • 800.00 gm arborio rice
  • 500.00 ml frozen peas
  • 250.00 ml grated parmesan
  • 62.50 ml chopped fresh chives
  • 62.50 ml chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley leaves
  • 6 slices pancetta
Instructions:
  • In a medium saucepan, bring stock and wine to a boil over high heat. Reduce heat to low and simmer uncovered.
  • In a large, heavy-based saucepan over medium heat, melt butter with oil. Add onion and garlic and cook, stirring, until soft, about 5 minutes. Stir in rice and cook for 1 more minute.
  • Pour 1/3 cup stock into the rice and stir until absorbed. Continue adding stock, 1/3 cup at a time, until the rice is tender and the liquid is absorbed. Mix in peas with the last 1/3 cup stock. Take the rice off the heat and fold in parmesan, chives, and parsley. Finally, season with pepper.
  • 1. Preheat a non-stick frying pan over medium heat and add pancetta. Sear for 2 minutes on each side until golden and crispy. 2. Chop the pancetta and use it as a topping for the risotto. Serve and enjoy!
