Before even beginning to write about this dish (gasp), I must apologise for the 'extreme' lack of posts and can only present this pretty, plate of pea & mint risotto, as a flag of forgiveness. I can only hope that this will not happen again... (fingers crossed!) But, lets not dwell any longer. Here- is a healthy, heavenly, herbalicious, lunch/dinner dish that will surely send your sensations in to a supreme sanctuary of... mmmmmmmm's. For this, you must first make a risotto bianco (white): using risotto rice, ladles of good quality chicken stock (or vegetable), a splash of white wine, chopped onions, pinch of salt and pepper. Then, the fun part! You can add a mixture of things to give your bianco a boom. I used garden peas, boiled with mint, chili, and pepper. Which I then strained and blended to a smooth paste. Fold this mix into your bianco, for a great, colour and taste combo. Then garnish with Parmesan, olive oil and a sprig of mint. Vuala!!
