Spring Pea Risotto is a creamy, fresh, and flavorful Italian-inspired dish made with arborio rice, tender peas, mint, and parmesan.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup Arborio rice
  • 1 ½ cups fresh or frozen peas
  • 4–5 cups vegetable or chicken broth (kept warm)
  • 2 tbsp butter
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 small onion or shallot, finely chopped
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • ½ cup freshly grated parmesan cheese
  • 2 tbsp fresh mint, chopped
  • 1 tsp lemon zest (optional)
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Warm the broth in a saucepan and keep it simmering on low heat.
  2. In a large pan, heat olive oil and 1 tbsp butter over medium heat. Sauté the chopped onion until translucent, then add minced garlic and cook briefly until fragrant.
  3. Add Arborio rice and stir for 1–2 minutes to coat each grain with oil and butter.
  4. Pour in one ladle of warm broth, stirring continuously until absorbed. Repeat this process, adding broth gradually while stirring to create a creamy texture.
  5. Continue cooking for about 18–22 minutes, until the rice is tender but slightly firm in the center.
  6. Stir in peas, parmesan cheese, and the remaining butter. Mix well until creamy and smooth.
  7. Add chopped mint, lemon zest, salt, and pepper to taste. Stir gently to combine.
  8. Serve immediately, topped with extra parmesan and a drizzle of olive oil if desired.

Notes

  • Use fresh peas for the best flavor.
  • Adjust the broth quantity based on desired creaminess.
  • Garnish with additional mint for freshness.
