Nicasio Foggy Morning Cheese Risotto with Peas





Serves 4-6 |
Ingredients:
1 lb fresh peas, in pod, shelled (about 1 to 1 and 1/2 cups) or frozen peas |
7 cups chicken stock |
2 Tablespoons olive oil |
1 Tablespoons butter with shallots |
1 Tablespoons butter with cheese and peas |
2 shallots, finely chopped |
Sea salt and freshly ground pepper |
2 cups Arborio or carnaroli rice |
1 cup white wine (sauvignon blanc) |
1/2 Nicasio foggy morning cheese |
1 Tablespoon lemon juice |
Directions:
- In large saucepan, heat stock and keep it at a mild simmer, while you prepare risotto.
- In another large pot combine oil, butter, shallot and cook over low heat until soft, but not browned 3-4 minutes. Add rice and stir until rice is well coated with fat 2-3 minutes.
- Add 1 c white wine stirring constantly until absorbed. Then add stock, 1 ladleful at a time and stir regularly until all the stock is absorbed. Maintain a gentle simmer.
