Recipes from a Kitchen in Berkeley CA

 

Ingredients

  • 4 cup Chicken Broth
  • 1 cup White Wine
  • 1 1/2 cup Sugar Snap Peas trimmed
  • 1 Tbsp Olive Oil
  • 1 1/2 cup Green onions sliced
  • 1/2 cup Carrot diced
  • 1 cup Arborio Rice
  • 1/4 cup Dry Sherry
  • 1/4 tsp Salt & Pepper
  • 1 Tbsp Fresh Oregano
  • 1/2 cup Parmesan freshly grated
  • 1 Tbsp Butter
  • 1/2 Lemon juiced
  • Black pepper, freshly ground to taste

Equipment

  • Chef’s knife
  • Small Pot
  • Large Pot
  • Nonstick skillet
  • Deep fryer

Method

  1. Bring broth to a quick boil and keep warm over low heat.
  2. Blanch peas in salted boiling water for 2-3 minutes. Drain and cool on a wire rack.
  3. Heat oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add onions and carrot; saute 5 minutes or until tender, stirring often. Add the rice and saute until just toasted (about 2-3 minutes). Reduce heat to medium/medium-low.
  4. Stir in wine; cook 5 minutes or until the liquid is nearly absorbed, stirring frequently. About 1/2 cup of so at a time add the stick mixture to the rice, stirring constantly; waiting until it is almost totally absorbed before adding the next ladle-full. Continue until all the stock is incorporated and the rice is creamy, but not runny (about 25 minutes).
  5. Add peas; cook about 4 minutes. Stir in cheese and the remaining ingredients and serve.
