Method
Step 1 - Step 1:
Heat the olive oil in a large flat-bottomed pan over a medium/low heat then add the rice. Stir to coat the grains in oil and toast for 2-3 minutes, stirring continuously until the rice is slightly translucent.
Step 2 - Step 2:
Add the stock a ladleful at a time, and simmer gently until the liquid has been absorbed before adding more, stirring frequently. Cook until the rice is al dente.
Step 3 - Step 3:
Meanwhile, tip the peas into a bowl or jug and cover with boiling water. Once defrosted, drain the water then stir the peas into the risotto. Cook for a further 5 minutes or until the rice is tender.
Step 4 - Step 4:
Remove from the heat and stir through 4 tbsp basil pesto and ⅔ of the goat’s cheese.
Step 5 - Step 5:
Divide between 2 serving bowls, swirl through the remaining pesto and goat’s cheese and finish with a drizzle of lemon oil.
