Ingredients
Serves 4
2 tbsp Mellow Yellow Rapeseed Oil
1 onion, finely chopped
250g risotto rice
750ml stock (vegetable or chicken, depending on your preference)
75ml white wine
75g parmesan shavings
3 spring onions, sliced
200g garden peas (lightly pre cooked and refreshed in cold water)
200g sugar snap peas (very lightly pre cooked and refreshed in cold water)
A handful of flat-leaf parsley, roughly chopped
30g pea shoots
Method
On a medium heat drizzle 2 tablespoons of Mellow Yellow Rapeseed Oil into a hot sauté pan.
Add the finely chopped onion. When the onion is softening (but not browning), add the risotto rice and cook for a couple of minutes.
Pour in the white wine and stir until the liquid is absorbed.
Start to pour in the first addition of stock, pouring in around 150ml at a time and stirring continually until all the liquid is absorbed.
Before the last addition of stock has been absorbed, add 50g of the parmesan (save the rest for garnishing), the peas, spring onion, sugar snap peas, and chopped parsley. Stir well to combine and serve garnished with pea shoots and the remaining parmesan shavings.
