Ingredients

  • 1 knob butter

  • 1 small brown onion

  • 300g arborio rice

  • 250ml white wine

  • 1L vegetable stock or whey

  • salt and pepper

  • 100g ricotta

  • 100g handful peas, de-shelled

  • 100g handful snow peas, halved

  • 1 lemon

  • 1 tbsp olive oil

  • 50g parmesan

  • 1 tbsp chopped parsley, mint and basil

  • 40g handful nasturtium leaves

Method

  1. Place a pot on heat and add the butter. Dice the onion and cook it in the foaming butter. Add the rice and white wine. Gradually add the stock or whey, stirring occasionally until the rice is just cooked. If more liquid is needed to cook the rice you can add a little water. Season with salt and pepper, ricotta, some of the peas, lemon and olive oil. Pop in a bowl and top with herbs, nasturtium leaves, raw peas and mint oil (see below). 

    Tip: If you can not find nasturtiums, use rocket, large sorrel leaves or better still, pea tendrils.

    Serve with Darren Robertson and Mark LaBrooy's mint oil.
