I don’t know, I think this recipe is missing something. It felt a bit bland to me. Maybe more cheese next time?
Mint and peas? Sounds weird! But I tried it and it was actually pretty good! Who knew healthy could taste nice.
Yay! I’m glad you liked it! I never thought mint would go with peas either. Gonna try this soon!
This risotto is delicious! The mint adds such a fresh flavor. I can’t believe how creamy it turned out! Will definitely make again.
Totally agree! The mint really makes a difference. I never thought to use it in risotto before. Can’t wait to try this myself!
The peas didn’t cook well. I think they needed more time? I ended up with crunchy peas, yuck!
