Three Pea Risotto  

With summer around the corner, fresh peas are still in season. This risotto makes an ideal lunch dish or light supper.
 
 

 

INGREDIENTS

1 cup fresh-shelled green peas, more for garnish
1/4 pound sugar snap peas, trimmed, strings removed; more for garnish
1/4 pound snow pea pods, strings removed
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 cups Arborio rice
3 1/2 cups vegetable broth
1/2 cup Italian grating cheese
  Shredded carrots for garnish
 



METHOD

In a 2-quart saucepan coated with DuPont SilverStone® non-stick, blanch the shelled peas by adding to boiling water for a few minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the peas to a bowl of ice water. Do the same for the sugar snap and snow peas. Set aside.

In a medium saucepan coated with DuPont SilverStone® non-stick, heat the olive oil over medium heat and add the rice. Sauté for 2 minutes. Add one-half cup of broth, stirring until absorbed. Continue adding 2 more cups of broth, one-half cup at a time. Stir in all three peas and continue adding the last cup of broth, one-half cup at a time, until absorbed, stirring constantly. Stir in cheese and garnish with extra peas and carrots. Serve immediately.
