Spring Risotto with Peas and Zucchini image

Number Of Ingredients 8

29 ounces Chicken or vegetable stock
3 tablespoons butter
1 pound zucchini, peeled and cubed
1/2 cup chopped onion
1 1/2 cups arborio rice
1/2 cup dry white wine (chardonnay)
1 cup frozen peas, thawed
1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese

Steps:

  • Heat broth and 2 1/2 cups water in a small saucepan over low heat; keep warm. Meanwhile, melt 2 tablespoons butter in a 3-quart saucepan over medium heat. Add zucchini; season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring often, until zucchini is golden, 8 to 10 minutes. With a slotted spoon, transfer zucchini to a plate.
  • Reduce heat to medium-low. Add onion; cook until soft, 5 minutes. Season with 1 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Raise heat to medium. Add rice; cook, stirring, until translucent around edges, about 3 minutes. Add wine; cook until absorbed, about 2 minutes.
  • Cook, adding 1 cup hot broth at a time (stir until almost all liquid is absorbed before adding more), until rice is tender, 25 to 30 minutes total.
  • Add zucchini and peas; cook until peas are bright green, 2 minutes. Remove from heat. Stir in remaining tablespoon butter and Parmesan. Serve, topped with more cheese.

Overall, this risotto was a bit underwhelming. The flavors were nice, but the texture was a bit too mushy. I think it could have used a bit more cooking time or a different type of rice.

I found this risotto to be a bit too heavy and rich for my taste. The flavors were nice, but the texture was a bit too creamy for me. I think it would have been better with a lighter broth or a bit less butter.

This risotto was a bit bland for my taste. I think it could have used more seasoning or a more flavorful broth. The texture was also a bit mushy. Overall, it was an okay dish, but I wouldn't make it again.
