Spring Pea Risotto
1 cup Arborio rice
1 tbsp finely diced onion
1 tbsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil
¼ cup green peas
¼ cup pea puree (recipe to follow)
2 cups parmesan broth (recipe to follow)
2 tbsp butter
2 tbsp grated parmesan
salt and pepper
 
Pea Puree
1 cup green peas 
8 mint leaves
16 parsley leaves
2 tbsp. Extra Virgin Olive Oil
1 tsp Salt
Pinch cayenne pepper
 
Puree all ingredients in a food processor until smooth. Set aside.
 
Parmesan Broth
2 cups parmesan rinds (chopped)
2 cups white wine
8 cloves garlic (rough chop)
5 cups water
 
Place all ingredients into a heavy bottom pot, bring to a simmer and reduce by one third.
 
Risotto 
Heat a heavy bottom pot over medium heat, add one tablespoon of oil to a pan, then onions and a pinch of salt. Cook for 2-3 minutes until translucent.
Add rice and cook for 2 minutes, then add parmesan broth in 2 ounces at a time stirring vigorously to release the starches. When rice has absorbed all the broth reduce heat to low and add remaining ingredients, stir until combined.
Adjust seasoning to personal preference.
