Broccoli and Peas Risotto Recipe

Ingredients

  • 500ml vegetable stock
  • 2 medium garlic cloves, grated
  • 200g Arborio rice
  • 2 medium onions, finely chopped
  • 125ml dry white wine
  • 300g fresh broccoli florets
  • 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
  • 150g frozen peas
  • 125ml heavy cream
  • Handful fresh parsley, roughly chopped
  • Salt and freshly ground white pepper

To serve:

  • Grated parmesan cheese

Method

  1. Cook the vegetables. Bring salted water to the boil and add the broccoli and peas. Cook for about 3 - 4 minutes and then drain.
  2. Cook the stock. Simmer the stock in a medium saucepan and keep it warm over a low heat.
  3. Make the rice. Heat the oil in a saucepan and add the onions. Gently cook them until they begin to soften, about 4 minutes. Add the garlic and cook for 30 seconds. Stir in the rice with a wooden spoon and cook for 1 minute. Pour in the wine and let it simmer for 2 minutes stirring constantly. Begin to add the stock one spoonful at a time giving the liquid time to absorb into the rice before adding more. Stir frequently through this process. Cook until the rice is soft and creamy - 25 minutes.
  4. To finish. Stir in the broccoli, peas, parsley and cream. Add salt and pepper to taste. Sprinkle with parmesan cheese and serve.
