Microwave Risotto With Peas And Parmigiano Reggiano Cheese Recipes

RISOTTO WITH PEAS AND SAUSAGE

Steps:

• Place stock in a saucepan and keep on low heat.
• Heat oil in a separate heavy 3-quart saucepan. Add leeks and garlic and sauté on medium-low until leeks are translucent. Stir in sausage or veal, if using. Cook 2 to 3 minutes. Add in rice and cook a few minutes, stirring, until grains start to whiten. Add wine and cook until it's nearly evaporated.
• Add a 1/2 cup of the warm stock and the peas. Stir and cook at a steady simmer until the stock has nearly evaporated. Add another 1/2 cup of the stock, stir from time to time until it's nearly evaporated. Keep this up until the rice is almost al dente, the peas are tender and there's only a little stock left. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Fold in lemon zest and remaining stock; the result should be creamy. Cook another minute or two. Fold in butter.
