- 4 cups chicken broth
- 2 cups frozen peas
- 1 cup snow peas
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, minced
- 1⁄4 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1⁄2 cup parmesan cheese, grated
directions
- In a heavy-bottomed medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat.
- Stir in the onions and red pepper and fry until the onions are translucent, about 4 minutes.
- Stir in the rice, coating the grains thoroughly.
- Meanwhile, heat the chicken broth either in a large measuring cup in the microwave or in a saucepan on top of the stove.
- Keep the broth hot.
- Start adding the broth, 1/3 cup at a time, stirring after each addition until the broth has been absorbed.
- Keep adding and stirring until 3 cups of broth have been absorbed, and about 10 to 12 minutes have passed.

- Cook, stirring and adding broth once more until only 1/3 cup is left and the rice is tender but still firm, about 8 to 10 minutes.
- Stir in the snow peas, remaining broth, parsley and pepper.
- Cook until the snow peas are bright green and still crisp, about 2 minutes.
- Stir in half of the cheese.
- Serve the risotto with a sprinkling of the remaining cheese.

<p>I live with my husband, four cats, and a sweet mutt named Jada in Scarborough, Ontario, where I work as an elementary school administrative assistant. I have a 31 year old daughter who lives with her boyfriend in nearby Don Mills, along with my sweet granddogs, Frankie and Turbo. I would have to say that my passion is animals, since I have so many of them! <br /><img src=http://images.quizilla.com/H/h0t5auce/1108834307_brown_answer.jpg alt= /> <br /><img src=http://www.recipezaar.com/members/home/532663/cookswithcattitude.JPG alt= /> <br /><img src=http://i146.photobucket.com/albums/r271/copperhorse58/CalendarGirlsSwap2009.jpg alt= /> <br /><br />If I had a month off work to do what I please, I would first catch up on my sleep and then just have fun - see a few movies and maybe take a couple of short trips - something that wouldn't break the bank - lol!</p>
