Method
- Melt the butter with the oil in a pan and gently fry the onion for 5 minutes until softened a bit. Add the risotto rice and cook for a couple of minutes, stirring, then add the wine and bubble until absorbed.
- Season well, then gradually add the stock, a ladleful at a time, stirring after each addition until the liquid has been fully absorbed before adding the next ladleful. Add the shredded chicken (if using) after 10 minutes. Once the rice is cooked (after about 20 minutes) you should have a soupy-looking risotto. Stir in the peas and cheese, then cover and leave to stand for 2 minutes before serving.
