Indulge in the creamy, dreamy goodness of this Spring Pea & Burrata Risotto. This easy-to-make recipe features a rich, flavorful risotto base with the bright, fresh taste of spring peas and the luxurious creaminess of burrata cheese.
Ingredients
– 2 cups arborio rice
– 4 cups chicken or vegetable broth
– 1 onion, diced
– 3 cloves garlic, minced
– 2 cups fresh peas
– 8 oz burrata cheese, torn into pieces
– 2 tbsp olive oil
– 1 tsp salt
– 1/2 tsp black pepper
Instructions
1. In a large saucepan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and sauté for 5 minutes until translucent.
2. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.
