How To Make Pea Risotto
A creamy and comforting rice dish, packed with the fresh flavors of sweet peas.
Serves:
Ingredients
- 1 cup Arborio rice
- 4 cups vegetable broth
- 1 cup frozen peas
- 1 small onion, diced
- 2 cloves of garlic, minced
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 tablespoons butter
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Instructions
-
In a large pot, heat the vegetable broth over medium heat until simmering.
-
In a separate pan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the diced onion and minced garlic, and cook until softened and fragrant.
-
Add the Arborio rice to the pan with the onion and garlic, stirring to coat the rice in the butter. Cook for 1-2 minutes, until the rice is slightly translucent.
-
Begin adding the simmering vegetable broth to the rice, one ladleful at a time. Stir continuously, allowing the rice to absorb the broth before adding more. Continue this process for about 20-25 minutes, until the rice is creamy and al dente.
-
In the last few minutes of cooking, add the frozen peas to the risotto and cook until heated through.
-
Remove the risotto from heat and stir in the grated Parmesan cheese. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
-
Serve the pea risotto hot, garnished with extra Parmesan cheese if desired.
