Ingredients

50g butter

1 onion, finely chopped

300g frozen or cooked fresh peas

1.7l hot vegetable or chicken stock

350g risotto rice

200ml white wine

50g Parmesan, or vegetarian alternative, grated

extra-virgin olive oil, to drizzle (optional)

Directions

Melt the butter in a large pan, add the onion and gently sweat for about 10 mins until soft. Meanwhile, put 100g peas into a food processor with a ladleful of stock and whizz until completely puréed.

Stir the rice into the onion, increase heat to medium and sizzle the rice for 1 min. Pour in the wine, then bubble and stir until completely absorbed. Continue cooking like this, adding a ladleful of stock at a time, and stirring continuously until the rice is tender and has a good creamy consistency – this will take 20-30 mins.

Stir in the puréed peas, remaining peas, Parmesan and season to taste. Then turn off the heat and leave to stand for a few mins. Give the risotto a final stir, serve in individual shallow bowls as is, or with some fried chicken. Drizzle with olive oil, if you like and perhaps some freshly grated parmesan.
