Method

  • step 1

    Melt the butter in a saucepan, then add the onion and garlic. Cook for 4-5 mins until softened, then stir in the rice.

  • step 2

    Pour in a ladleful of stock and simmer until all the liquid has been absorbed, stirring occasionally. Continue adding the stock in this way, until it has all been used up and the rice is tender. Stir in the peas and tarragon, then heat through for 2 mins. Check seasoning, then stir in the Parmesan and serve straight away.

The first ever risotto I tried ages ago and now one of my stables. Easy to make with very few ingredients that are usually in stock and I love the taste of the tarragon! Total comfort food that I tend to make when I'm cooking for myself and am always looking forward to it.

question

I love risotto, but can never achieve the white colour in -say - pea & tarragon risotto - because the vegetable stock pots always contain a yellowish colour. How can I get flavour without the colouring?

bertiesu

Have you tried stock cubes or making your own stock? I've done both before and never had a yellow colouring...
