1. Cook the shallots and garlic gently in a large knob of butter until soft. Add the rice and stir until all the grains are shiny. Turn up the heat then add the wine and bubble until absorbed.
2. Add the stock bit by bit until the rice is tender but still has a little bite. Stir in the broad beans with the remaining butter, most of the lemon zest and half the cheese. Serve topped with the rest of the pecorino and zest.

  Tasty recipe. I add some cooked chicken breast pieces when you add the beans and it makes it more a substantial meal. Be careful while cooking the shallots because if they start to caramelise, you'll end up with a brown risotto! Not remotely a problem in terms of taste, but it doesn't look quite so pretty.

  I didn't use wine, and maybe this was the reason why I found this recipe really tasteless.... I would only try it again with the wine, and unless it tasted better I wouldn't make it again. Shame though, as it looks great on a plate!
