Method

  1. Bring a small pan of water to the boil and cook the peas and beans for 3-5 minutes, until just cooked. Drain, reserving the cooking water for making up the stock using stock cubes. Refresh the vegetables under cold running water. Set aside.
  2. Heat the butter and fennel, or onion, in a large pan and cook gently for a few minutes. Add the garlic. Stir in the rice and cook for a couple of minutes. Add about a quarter of the stock and cook gently, stirring, until it has been absorbed. Continue adding stock until it is all used up and the rice is creamy. Season well.
  3. Add pulses. Spoon risotto into dishes, add 2-3 slices of cheese per portion and sprinkle with herbs.
