Risi Bisi image

This Italian dish, featuring rice and fresh peas, is a simple primed for weeknight. Ready in 30 minutes, it requires attention at the stove, but only for a brief period. The result is a tender risotto, studded with prosciutto and peas, and brightened with herbs and lemon.

Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 teaspoon olive oil
6 large shallots, peeled and minced
1/2 teaspoon salt, plus more to taste
1 teaspoon freshly ground pepper, plus more to taste
1 1/2 cups Arborio rice
6 cups basic vegetable broth (see recipe)
1 cup dry white wine
1/2 pound prosciutto, sliced very thin, 1/8-inch thick and cut into narrow strips
2 cups fresh peas, podded
2 tablespoons grated lemon rind
1/4 cup minced basil leaves
1/2 cup minced mint leaves

Steps:

  • Heat the olive oil in a large saucepan over low heat. Add the shallots, salt and pepper. Stir until soft, about 5 minutes. Place the broth in a saucepan and simmer.
  • Add rice to shallots and stir to combine. Ladle in 1/2 cup of broth and stir. Increase the heat to medium-high and, for the next 25 minutes, continue adding broth, 1/2 cup at a time, stirring constantly. After 15 minutes, add the white wine. After an additional 5 minutes, add prosciutto and peas. Cook until rice is tender, about 5 more minutes. Season with additional salt and pepper to taste. Remove from heat and stir in the lemon rind, basil and mint. Divide the rice among 4 bowls and serve.

This was a great way to use up some leftover rice. I added some chopped carrots and celery to the dish for extra flavor and it turned out great. I will definitely be making this again.

This was a quick and easy dish to make. The flavors were good, but I found the rice to be a bit mushy. I will try cooking it for a shorter amount of time next time.

I'm not a huge fan of peas, but I really enjoyed this dish. The flavors were so well-balanced that the peas were not overpowering. I will definitely be making this again.
