Preparation: 10 minutes
Cooking: 25 minutes
Total: 35 minutes

Serves:

Ingredients

  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 onion, finely chopped
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 300g Arborio rice
  • 125ml white wine
  • 1L vegetable stock
  • 250g cooked prawns
  • 200g peas
  • Zest of 2 lemons
  • Juice of 1 lemon
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Heat the olive oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add the onion and garlic, and sauté until softened.

  2. Add the Arborio rice to the pan and stir well to coat it in the oil. Cook for a couple of minutes until slightly translucent.

  3. Pour in the white wine and cook until most of the liquid has evaporated.

  4. Gradually add the vegetable stock, one ladleful at a time, stirring constantly until the rice absorbs each ladleful of stock before adding more. Cook for around 20 minutes or until the rice is al dente.

  5. Stir in the cooked prawns, peas, lemon zest, and lemon juice. Cook for a further 2-3 minutes until heated through.

  6. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

  7. Serve the risotto hot, garnished with fresh parsley.
