Serves 6

INGREDIENTS

5 cups vegetable broth
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 shallot, chopped fine
1½ cups Arborio rice
½ cup dry white wine
1 cup fresh peas, blanched
1 cup watercress, chopped
¼ cup goat cheese, crumbled
Salt
Freshly ground pepper
Pea shoots, for garnish

DIRECTIONS

In a medium sized saucepot heat chicken broth until warm and simmer while making risotto. In a separate medium saucepot over medium heat, add olive oil. Cook shallot until translucent, about 5 to 7 minutes. Add rice and cook and stir for 1 minute. Next, add wine and cook until all liquid is absorbed. Add 1 cup vegetable broth, reduce and then add another ½ cup liquid every 7 minutes or so until rice is almost cooked through, about 20. Add peas and watercress and cook 5 minutes more. Remove from heat, and finish with goat cheese. Season with salt and pepper and serve garnished with pea shoots.
