Goats Cheese, Pea and Lemon Risotto, recipe by Hayden Quinn

Ingredients

Method

  1. Heat vegetable stock in a small saucepan. In a separate pot sweat the onions on a medium heat in a little olive oil until translucent and aromatic. Add the garlic and thyme and continue to cook.
  2. Add the Arborio rice and fry with the onions for roughly 3 minutes. Deglaze the pot with white wine and the juice of a half a lemon.
  3. Gently stir while adding in one ladle of hot stock to the rice. Allow the stock to be absorbed before adding the second ladle. Continue this process until the rice is almost cooked.
  4. Add the peas just as you add the final ladle of stock.
  5. Once the rice is cooked, crumble in the goat’s cheese. Stir gently. Serve with lemon zest and pea shoots sprinkled over the top of the risotto.
