Risi Bisi image

This Italian dish, featuring rice and fresh peas, is a simple primed for weeknight. Ready in 30 minutes, it requires attention at the stove, but only for a brief period. The result is a tender risotto, studded with prosciutto and peas, and brightened with herbs and lemon.

Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 teaspoon olive oil
6 large shallots, peeled and minced
1/2 teaspoon salt, plus more to taste
1 teaspoon freshly ground pepper, plus more to taste
1 1/2 cups Arborio rice
6 cups basic vegetable broth (see recipe)
1 cup dry white wine
1/2 pound prosciutto, sliced very thin, 1/8-inch thick and cut into narrow strips
2 cups fresh peas, podded
2 tablespoons grated lemon rind
1/4 cup minced basil leaves
1/2 cup minced mint leaves

Steps:

  • Heat the olive oil in a large saucepan over low heat. Add the shallots, salt and pepper. Stir until soft, about 5 minutes. Place the broth in a saucepan and simmer.
  • Add rice to shallots and stir to combine. Ladle in 1/2 cup of broth and stir. Increase the heat to medium-high and, for the next 25 minutes, continue adding broth, 1/2 cup at a time, stirring constantly. After 15 minutes, add the white wine. After an additional 5 minutes, add prosciutto and peas. Cook until rice is tender, about 5 more minutes. Season with additional salt and pepper to taste. Remove from heat and stir in the lemon rind, basil and mint. Divide the rice among 4 bowls and serve.

I'm not sure if I did something wrong, but my risotto turned out really soupy. I think I added too much liquid.

This risotto was just okay. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't anything special either.

I'm not a fan of the texture of risotto. I prefer rice that is more al dente.

I added some fresh herbs to the risotto, such as basil and thyme. It really enhanced the flavor.

I'm a vegetarian, so I substituted the chicken broth for vegetable broth. The risotto still turned out great!
