Green Veg & Pesto Risotto instructions
- Boil the kettle. Dice the onion. Add the oil and onion to a large pan and soften the onion for 5 mins on a low heat. Add a punch of dried mixed herbs and stir..
- Add the stock cube to 700ml boiling water and stir to dissolve..
- Add the rice to the pan and stir to coat the rice in the oil. Stir until the rice is translucent. (Approx 2-3 mins).
- Add a small amount of stock. Stir. Repeat this, slowly adding water and stirring until the rice is cooked (approx 20-30 mins). Keep the pan on a low heat so it absorbs the stock slowly..
- Meanwhile, boil your greens (not the peas) for 5-10 mins so they cook but are still crunchy. You can use any greens you have in your fridge. You want approximately 2 large handfuls of greens per person. Once cooked, drain and set to the side..
- Once the rice is cooked add the greens, frozen peas, pesto, and black pepper. Stir. The peas heat through really quickly!.
- Serve into bowls and garnish with Parmesan and pine nuts..
