Ingredients
- 5 1/2 cups 1.3 L low sodium chicken stock or broth
- 2 tbsp 28 g unsalted butter
- 2 tbsp 30 mL olive oil
- 1 shallot or small yellow onion finely chopped
- 3 cloves garlic minced or pressed
- 2 cups 400 g arborio rice
- zest of 1/2 lemon
- 1/2 cup 56 g fresh parmesan cheese, grated
- 2 tbsp 28 g unsalted butter
- Juice of one lemon
- 1/2 cup 67 g frozen sweet peas
- Kosher salt and freshly cracked black pepper to taste
- lemon zest parsley, extra parmesan, for garnish
Instructions
- In a medium-sized sauce pan, heat the chicken stock over medium-low heat until the stock begins steaming. Keep on low heat.
- In a large high sided skillet over medium heat, add the 2 tbsp butter, olive oil, and onion. Saute for 6 to 8 minutes, stirring occasionally with a wooden spoon until soft and golden. Add in the garlic, stirring to ensure the garlic doesn't burn, cooking until fragrant for about 1 minute.
- Add the rice and lemon zest to the onion mixture, stirring for 2 minutes or until the rice is becoming translucent with an opaque white center.
- Add the hot stock 1/2 cup at a time, stirring continuously, until the stock is almost completely absorbed and the rice is creamy and translucent (the center is no longer white) and no longer crunchy when tasted (around 25-30 minutes).
- Stir in the parmesan, butter, lemon juice, and peas. Let the peas cook until warmed through, about 3-4 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Garnish with extra lemon zest, chopped parsley, and parmesan.
- Serve immediately.

Notes
- I don't use wine in cooking often, but if you want to use white wine as is traditional in risotto, replace 1 1/2 cups of the chicken broth with white wine.
