Ingredients

  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 onion
  • 250g/9oz risotto rice
  • ¼ bottle white wine
  • 290ml/10fl oz/½ pint chicken stock
  • 1 bunch asparagus
  • 150g/5oz fresh peas
  • 100g/4oz mature cheddar
  • 25g/1oz parmesan

Instructions

  • Heat the olive oil in a large saucepan, add the onion and cook for about five minutes, until softened.
  • Stir in the rice and continue to stir for about two minutes while the rice cooks and becomes slightly opaque.
  • Carefully pour in the wine and chicken stock.
  • Cook, stirring frequently, until the rice is cooked through (if it gets too thick, add more water) - this should take about 12-15 minutes.
  • Cover the asparagus and peas with boiling water and rapidly boil for about three minutes. Drain well.
  • Stir the vegetables and the cheddar cheese into the cooked rice.
  • Grate a little parmesan over the top. This risotto is delicious served with roast chicken.
