Ingredients

  • 300g risotto rice
  • 1L hot vegetable stock
  • 50ml white wine
  • 100g frozen petit pois
  • 100g sugar snap peas, coarsely chopped
  • 100g baby courgettes, coarsely chopped
  • 100g kale, washed and coarsely chopped
  • 2 banana shallots, finely slices
  • 2 garlic cloves, finely minced
  • 50g cubed Kerrygold Pure Irish Salted Butter
  • 2 tbsp olive oil

  • 50g fresh parmesan, finely grated

Directions

  1. In a heavy bottomed pan, heat half of the butter and the olive oil over a medium heat.
  2. Add the shallots and sweat down without colouring. Once soft, add the garlic and the rice and stir to coat. Add the white wine and stir until completely absorbed by the rice.

  4. Meanwhile bring a pan of lightly salted water to a boil and add all of the green vegetables. Blanche for 3 minutes before adding to the rice.
  5. Once the rice is tender add the parmesan and butter to the pan and stir thoroughly.
  6. Serve immediately garnishing with the fresh mint and parmesan.
