Garden Vegetable Risotto

Traditional Italian comfort food meets brilliant British vegetables in this Garden Vegetable Risotto recipe from The Chiappa Sisters. To stop the risotto burning (up to 200°C), use creamy Bertolli spread and show it some love by patiently stirring the whole time, gradually adding the stock. Make this dish suitable for vegetarians simply by switching the parmesan to an alternative cheese, for a meal that’s still warming and delicious.

Ingredients

  • 30 grams Bertolli spread
  • 1 small onion finely chopped
  • 350 grams Arborio rice
  • 125 ml dry white wine

  • 8 asparagus tips finely chopped
  • 100 grams frozen peas
  • 1 litre vegetable stock
  • 20 grams Bertolli spread add before serving

      Instructions

      1. Heat the Bertolli in a heavy based saucepan. Add the onion and sweat on a medium heat until softened.
      2. Stir in the rice and coat with Bertolli spread. Add the wine and allow to evaporate, stirring all the time.

      4. Add a couple of ladles of hot stock and stirring continuously, cook until the stock is absorbed. Add more stock and repeat. Continue adding stock slowly, cooking and stirring in this way for about 20 minutes, until the rice is cooked.
      5. The rice should be soft but with a slight bite.
