Pea Risotto

Today our class made risotto, we could choose from a variety of ingredients to put in our risotto such as bacon, mushroom and sweet corn. I used peas. 

Firstly we weighed out out the ingredients then we chopped up the vegetables. I need to work on dicing and onion because mine was quite uneven. 

After I did that I melted the butter and fried the onions. When they were soft I added the rice and covered it in the melted butter. Next, when the rice was clear, I stirred in a bit of my stock and peas. I continued to do this until the rice had adsorbed all the stock. I stopped stirring when the rice was soft. The risotto was very creamy this is because of constantly stirring the rice to make the rice soft and absorb the liquid. It is also creamy because of the cooking process that makes the starches come out. 

The risotto tasted nice and I plan to use this recipie again
