Dairy Free Pea and Mint Risotto

Risotto is a great summer dinner, you can add anything you like to Risotto – this is one of our favourites. A simple Dairy Free Pea and Mint risotto that’s perfect in the spring and summer.  Most Risotto recipes have wine in them, to be honest, we tested and tried and can’t really taste the difference. I’m sure that’s a terrible criticism of the sophistication of our taste buds but hey…it means you can save the wine for drinking.

There’s no doubt that dairy free risotto is one of those dishes that takes time and patience. You can’t rush this. Give yourself the time to do it properly and slowly. Yes you do have to stand over the pot stirring. But once you commit yourself to the process it’s not a big deal.

Pea and Mint Risotto

We love Risotto in our house. It’s a great dairy free dish. There really is no need to add cream or cheese as there are so many delicious risotto combinations that are dairy free. One of Molly’s favourite combinations is Pea and Mint. A beautiful fresh risotto - we grab mint from the garden.

Ingredients
  • ½ onion chopped finely
  • 2 tablespoons of olive oil
  • 400g risotto rice
  • 750ml vegetable or chicken stock – hot
  • 2/3rds cup frozen peas
  • Bunch of finely mint chopped
Directions
Step 1
Put the stock in a pan on a low heat. Grab a ladle or measuring cup to have handy
Step 2
Grab a large pan with a wide base. Add the olive oil and heat gently, then add in the onion and cook until soft (about 10 minutes) but not coloured.
Step 3
Turn up the heat a bit and add the rice. Now is the time that you start stirring. You want to ‘toast’ the rice, not cook it. So a few stirs with the spoon as the rice sizzles for a minute or so
Step 4
Grab your ladle and add some stock about 1/2 cup at a time. Stir as you go. Make sure that the stock is completely absorbed before adding more. This is the bit where you stir all the time – don’t leave it and allow the rice to bubble away. On my stove a medium/low heat works best. You want a constant bubble, not a fast boil. If you add the stock too quickly the rice will be mushy on the outside and hard on the inside so go slowly.
Step 5
Once most of the stock has been added throw the peas into the remaining stock to heat up. Never boil peas, they go hard. We want the stock nice and warm and for the peas to float to the top. Keep adding the stock but don’t add the peas just yet. The whole process takes about 25-30 minutes.
Step 6
Once the risotto is cooked – the rice will keep its shape and have a bit of a bite. Add the mint, and the peas. Stir to combine and serve immediately. Serve with lemon wedges if you want a dash of citrus.

Easy Bean Salad

Easy Bean Salad

We love Bean Salad, its just a nice change from a green salad. Packed with protein and simple to do – a lot of opening of tins involved! A simple salad that’s great with a BBQ   If you’ve got a BBQ going and want something nice on it – do try these Duck Skewers.

Duck Skewers

BBQ Duck Skewers

The weather is fine, the BBQ is out and it’s time to pop something other than a sausage on the BBQ.  Skewers are always popular – I like to cut the meat into strips rather than chunks as it cooks more evenly. Duck is amazing on a BBQ – full of flavour and quick to […]

Coconut Chicken

Coconut Chicken and Pineapple

This is a lovely meal on the BBQ or under the grill. Cooking time is pretty short, about 15 minutes but you do need to marinate them for at least 3 hours, or even prepare them the night before.  Pineapple is a good fruit for these, as it’s solid enough to take the heat from […]
