Broad bean and feta risotto





Well my essays have been handed in, and now I am free! Well.. Until my exams.

To celebrate I am having one of my favourite meals, risotto!



I'm willing the sun to come back with this summery number.


You will need: Arborio rice, vegetable stock, leek, frozen peas, broad beans, vegetarian hard cheese and feta cheese.


Start by softening the leeks in a saucepan, when they are cooked (not brown), add the Arborio rice. Slowly add a bit of the vegetable stock in water, around half a mug at the time.

Proceed to add water slowly until the risotto begins to get a creamy consistency, taste the rice to check the texture, if it is mostly cooked but has a bit of a bite you can add the broad beans, peas and vegetarian hard cheese at this point.

 Once the broad beans and peas are cooked, and the cheese has melted it is ready to serve.


Sprinkle feta over the top to serve and a few green olives if you fancy.


You can make loads of different kinds of risotto easily and quickly.


Enjoy!
