Ingredients
- 1 cup Arborio rice
- 4 cups low-sodium vegetable broth
- 1/2 teaspoon saffron threads
- 1 small onion, diced
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1/2 cup frozen peas
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
Directions
- In a small saucepan, heat the vegetable broth over low heat until warm.
- In a separate saucepan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and cook until translucent, about 3 minutes.
- Add the Arborio rice to the saucepan with the onions and stir to coat the rice with the oil.
- Add the saffron threads to the rice and stir to evenly distribute.
- Begin adding the warm vegetable broth to the rice, 1/2 cup at a time, stirring constantly until the liquid is absorbed before adding more. This process should take about 20 minutes.
- Once all the broth has been absorbed and the rice is creamy and cooked through, stir in the frozen peas and cook for an additional 2 minutes.
- Remove the risotto from the heat and stir in the grated Parmesan cheese.
- Let the risotto sit for a few minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld together.
