Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 40 mins

1. STEP 1

   

   How to make risotto with vegetables? Prepare the indicated products. You can change the vegetables to taste; frozen or ready-made vegetable mixtures are also suitable. But to prepare risotto you need to take special rice - Arborio (I use medium grain) or another suitable for this dish. Read more about this in the article, the link is at the end of this recipe. Vegetable broth can be replaced with clean filtered water.

2. STEP 2

   

   Vegetables for preparing risotto should be washed, peeled and cut. Place the frying pan on the fire and heat it up. Pour olive oil (1 tbsp) and first fry the vegetables over high heat, then reduce the heat and continue frying the vegetables until tender, 15 - 18 minutes, stirring them constantly. Cooking time may vary depending on the vegetables chosen. How to choose a frying pan and oil for frying, read the article, the link is at the end of the recipe.

3. STEP 3

   

   Heat another frying pan over high heat, pour in olive oil and add butter, melt it, mixing with olive oil. Place chopped onion and garlic in a frying pan and fry until translucent.

4. STEP 4

   

   Rinse the rice and add to the pan, stir. Fry the rice along with the onion and garlic until the rice is translucent, 3 - 4 minutes. Add dry white wine and evaporate it.

5. STEP 5

   

   Reduce the heat to slightly less than medium, pour 150 ml of vegetable broth into the rice and continue cooking the rice until the broth has evaporated, stirring constantly. When the broth has evaporated, pour in the broth (150 ml) again and, stirring the rice, also cook until the liquid has evaporated .

6. STEP 6

   

   When the vegetables are almost ready, add the peas and continue frying until they are ready. If necessary, you can add vegetable broth to the vegetables.

7. STEP 7

   

   Add rice to the prepared vegetables and stir. Add salt and pepper to taste.

8. STEP 8

   

   Pour in the remaining broth and cook, stirring the rice with vegetables, until the rice is cooked, but it should be “Al Dente” (literally: by the bite, i.e. to such a degree of readiness when the rice remains slightly hard, but not tough) .

9. STEP 9

   

   Serve the finished risotto with rice and vegetables in a frying pan hot; it is a separate dish, but can serve as a side dish for meat dishes. If desired, the rice can be sprinkled with grated Parmesan.

A universal dish that will decorate the table at a holiday with its brightness and dilute the gray everyday life. Suitable either on its own or as a side dish for meat. The only thing is that I didn’t have green beans, and I didn’t add wine, but I assure you it didn’t affect the taste. Beautiful and especially tasty rice with vegetables. Risotto with vegetables! You are simply gorgeous!
