Ingredients

1 tbsp olive oil
100g cold butter, diced
1 small onion or 2 shallots, diced
175g La Risera Organic Arborio Rice
100ml white wine
600ml hot The Stock Merchant Vegetable Stock
50g La Vera grated Parmesan
200g fresh peas, podded
200g broad beans, podded (about 1kg unpodded)

Method

1. Heat oil and 25g of the butter in a large pan over medium heat. Add the onion and cook until soft and translucent, about 4 -5 minutes. Stir in the rice and cook for a further 2 minutes. Turn up the heat and add the wine, let it bubble to evaporate the alcohol.
2. Once the wine has reduced, begin adding the hot stock a ladle at a time over a medium heat, allowing each addition to be absorbed before adding the next and stirring continuously. The rice should always be moist, but not swimming in liquid. The process of adding and stirring should take about 15 – 20 minutes.
3. Bring a pan of salted water to the boil and blanch the beans and peas for 2-3 minutes. Drain and set aside. Remove the risotto from the heat, and stir in the remaining butter, parmesan, peas and beans with some seasoning before serving.
4. Enjoy!
