Method

  • step 1

    Heat a large saucepan over a medium heat, then toast the rice, stirring constantly, for 1 min. Add 1 ladleful of hot stock and stir until absorbed. Reduce the heat. Add the rest of the stock, a ladleful at a time, until the rice is almost cooked and stock is absorbed, about 20 mins.

  • step 2

    Stir in the peas, cooking for 3-5 mins, then remove the pan from the heat. Add the cheese, lemon juice and seasoning, then stir. Scatter with the lemon zest, then serve immediately, with extra grated Parmesan.

Fantastic!! I put all the stock in at once & the lemon & zest at same time as peas ….delicious, the only thing I’d change is MORE of it 😃

Why can't fluids be given in ml or cups? Why say 850g stock? Frustrating.

Grams and ml are equal to each other. 850g = 850 ml :)

Simple and quick for a risotto! Started with frying an onion and garlic before toasting the rice, and served with smoked salmon and asparagus tips. Just added parm and lemon to taste and it was delicious.

question

Can I cook risotto with regular short rice not Arborio rice ? Thanks.

Hi Sahar, You can do this however your risotto will have a different texture. Risotto rice cooks to a creamier texture and the grains don't stay as separate as other short grained rice. I will still taste nice though. I hope this helps.
