  Have made this before without the pea shoots. Hoping to grow my own this year a la Alys Fowler, so should be even more delicious and spring like.

  It looked like it'd be quite nice, I was surprised at how nice it was. I'm not much of a pea lover but I'm trying to find ways I can eat more of them and this is perfect. Really enjoyed it. I used marigold bouillon for the stock and didn't bother with butter at the beginning due to me trying to eat more healthily. Didn't use any pea shoots, drizzled with truffle oil before serving.

  Easy to make and delicious. I used Japanese/Korean sushi rice which required much less stock.

  It was ok but I did find that I got a bit bored of eating it before I finished. Would be ok for a starter but not a main meal

  This was very easy to make. I used frozen peas and didn't have any pea shoots. I added more cheese than the recipe stated. I would have given it a 3, but my boyfriend thought it was a 4. But i it was good for using up things I already had in the kitchen.

  Really easy to make, not alot of ingredients and tasted delicious, and i dont feel it suffered from my lack of pea shoots. I added pancetta to it to give it alittle more variety of texture and flavour and this worked really well.

  Made this as a main for 2 not a starter. Was great, took 20 mins on a medium heat adding stock and stirring to make a great risotto. I used extra mature cheddar as I struggle finding vegetarian parmesan. Just at the end I also added a small handful of chopped chives. We both really enjoyed it.

  Any suggestions as to what I could use instead of the white wine?!

  This was a brilliant recipe! Made it as a main and it was delicious. I used frozen peas but looking forward to using our own home grown peas when they are ready as sure it will give it even more flavour. Can't wait to make again!

  For the lady who found it a bit much to wade through on its own, or for those who found it a little on the dull side, we tend to make less of it & serve it, still as the 'main event', with either a small portion of gammon or cold leftover pork from a Sunday roast, both of which go with it perfectly! Obviously this isn't very 'vegetarian' but perhaps others, like me, who aren't vegetarian, enjoy browsing & using recipes from this section anyway!

  I really enjoyed this dish. I substituted the pea shoots with some thinly sliced slightly panned fried zucchini for texture. I also used good quality verjuice instead of white wine.
