    Hi everyone,

    When is the right time to add peas to a pea risotto? Plan to do plain white risotto (onion, garlic, white wine, stock) and add in fresh/defrosted peas - how long would they need?

    Thanks.

    Not if they're already defrosted, they'll be mush if they're added with the sofritto.

    OP, I would add them about 5 minutes before you remove the risotto from the heat (before you add the second knob of butter). Fresh/defrosted peas really require little to no cooking.

    they will be mushed if you overcook them, not otherwise.
    I do the soffritto separately. I toast the rice before adding the stock, if I have the soffritto on the same pan it will be burned.

    had a strange sounding but REALLY nice riotto - Chirizo,pea and mint risotto.
    Try it - it's gooooood.
    Has lemon juice in it to.
