  This was really lovely. I used fresh peas rather than frozen and they were delicious. Would definitely make this again...and again.

  I don't know where I went wrong with this one, but it turned out a stodgy mess - one lump or two??

  Would using Mint rather than Lemon at the end work just as well?

  I tried this recipe yesterday. Its very easy to do and can be done in a very short time. Half of the amount of peas to be used was replaced with fresh broad beans. The taste was lovely. Thank you.

  This is really yummy. Try sweating a shallot and some thyme before adding the rice for added depth of flavour. Delicious...

  I wasn't so pleased with this one, it wasn't that tasty and a bit stodgy although I followed the recipe fully..

  Delicious. I added half an onion, 2 spring onions and a clove of garlic before adding the rice and it worked lovely. My only complaint would be that the peas were still undercooked after the whole 5 mins but that is easily resolvable by just chucking them in a minute or two before.

  Never made rissoto, but sweated half an onion and some garlic before adding the rice , as suggested above an it was delicious! Everyone raved and since risotto of any kind is a firm favourite in our house...this one being the winner. I know I can have nothing in and still serve up a tasty dinner!

  Cooked the rice with some chopped spring onions in some oil rather than toasting the rice. Also added creme fraiche at the end. Very good with the additions - think you can overdo the low fat bit - I thought the latest research showed that it is responsible for the current obesity epidemic!

  Very nice! I have swapped 50 ml of stock for white wine at the beginning... gives a bit more taste!

  It was delicious but the cooking time is way out. You say 5 minutes at the beginning but it takes at least 30 minutes. I reckon it took me nearly an hour in all - but it was worth it.

  So easy to make, and nice and cheap too - usually only have to pick up a lemon!

  This was quite nice, certainly easy. I would put less lemon zest in it, too lemony for me.

  Very nice ... I started it off by frying onion, garlic and chopped courgette in a little olive oil, then adding rice and some white wine ... then followed the recipe as above. Lovely light and summery ... but hubby said a little too lemony for his taste .... but then again, I think I added a little extra lemon to make it to my taste!!! Delicious!!! Nice, light and summery risotto! Especiallyt with fresh peas from the garden!! Yum
