Time 50m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

6 cups chicken broth
4 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 medium shallot, finely chopped
1 small clove garlic, minced
1 cup Arborio rice
1/3 cup dry white wine
1 cup frozen peas, thawed
1/2 cup grated Parmesan, plus more for serving
2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice
1/8 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
3 tablespoons chopped fresh mint, plus a few small leaves for garnish

Steps:

  • Bring the chicken broth to a bare simmer in a medium saucepan.
  • Heat 2 tablespoons of the butter and the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the shallots and garlic, and cook, stirring, until softened, about 2 minutes. Add the Arborio, stirring to coat. Add the wine and simmer until evaporated.
  • Add just enough of the simmering stock to cover the rice. Cook, stirring constantly, until the rice is almost dry; adjust the heat to keep the liquid at a low bubble. Repeat with more stock to cover. Continue to cook in this manner until the rice is creamy and al dente, 20 to 25 minutes total; you may not use all of the broth.
  • Add the peas and cook, stirring, until heated through, about 2 minutes. Stir in the Parmesan, the remaining 2 tablespoons butter and the lemon juice and nutmeg. Add a splash more stock or water if necessary to loosen the risotto. Season with salt and pepper, and stir in the mint.
  • Transfer the risotto to a serving bowl, top with mint leaves and serve with additional Parmesan.

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover peas and mint. I also like to add some chopped asparagus or zucchini to the dish for extra flavor.

This risotto was a bit too rich for my taste. I think it could have used more vegetables or a lighter sauce. I also found the peas to be a bit overcooked.

I found this recipe to be a bit bland. I think it could use more seasoning, or maybe some additional vegetables. I also found the risotto to be a bit too al dente for my taste.
