Preparation and cooking time
It usually takes us 30 minutes to prepare this meal. No rush though, takes as long as it takes.
Every Project27 Skills recipe takes only 3 key steps to prepare. The rest is a matter of creativity..
Step 1: Play music in the kitchen. I recommend this playlist.
Step 2: Pour a glass of drink for the chef.
Step 3: Get cooking, get creative! Here is how we do it:
Steps
- Heat the stock in a small pan and keep it gently simmering.
- Heat the butter and olive oil in a large pan. Add the finely chopped onion and crushed garlic, and cook over a medium heat for 4-5 minutes, stirring, until softened.
- Using a wooden spoon, stir in the rice and coat it with the buttery onions.
- Add the wine and simmer until almost evaporated.
- Stir in the chopped sun-dried tomatoes and a ladleful of hot stock. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the stock has been absorbed into the rice.
- Continue adding the hot stock a ladleful at a time, stirring occasionally, for about 20 minutes total or until the risotto is tender and creamy.
- For the last 2 minutes of cooking, stir in 250g cooked, peeled prawns and 200g peas (thawed, if frozen, by putting them into a colander and pouring boiling water over).
- When the risotto is done, stir in the herbs, then season to taste.
- Serve with Parmesan cheese shavings scattered over the top.
