This is wonderful risotto, Mermaidmagic! I used a slightly different technique than the instructions stated. When adding the chicken broth, I added about 1/2 cup at a time and stirred over med-high heat until absorbed, adding more chicken broth (1/2 cup at a time) and stirring until all was added. The results were delicious! Just the right amount of cheese n' peas ; ) Thanks for a delightful addition to our supper tonight!
