Green Pea Risotto

If you are a regular to the blog, you are well aware by now, that I have an addiction....risotto! I just can´t help myself, it's always so delicious, regardless of what you add in. I find that a lot of people are afraid to make risotto, but please, give it a try, it truly is easy to make. Think of it as "fancy" comfort food, it takes a little bit of extra time, but it is so well worth it, you will not regret it!






3 Tablespoons butter

2 small shallots minced

1 cup arborio rice

1 cup white wine

 4 cups chicken broth

1/2 cup shredded parmesan cheese

1 cup Peas (fresh or frozen) I used frozen



In a large skillet, melt the butter and saute the shallots until translucent.  Add the rice and stir until slightly toasted.  Add the wine and let cook until all of the liquid is absorbed.  Turn heat down to low and stir in one cup of broth until completely absorbed.  Add more in cup increments until rice is al dente (30-40 minutes).  Add the peas and let cook for a few minutes. Remove from heat and stir in 1/2 cup of cheese until evenly coated.  Mix well and serve hot. Enjoy!
