Yes, the bigger peas can get mushy in any dish that is cooked for a while. The petite peas stay firm and dainty.

I think you're right. adding them late in the cooking helps, too, I'm sure.

WillBill,

You are too much. I don't think that is a problem. I love to cook so this is double funny for me.

Thanks. At least you're not making fun of the tortellini cooking adventure. My brother stopped watching after that one.

Omg r u sure u should cook alot of fried oil food/butter for ur diet at ur age???? Just asking? B^(

[wildbill1911A1]

good question.... but you know what they say: "there is almost nothing that frying doesn't make taste better".

I like risoto, though I think my sainted gramma would cluck her tongue at you for using frozen peas and onions...and the soup. Well, what the fuck does she know, she's dead.

AND...it looked pretty good to me.

"Yesterday, a car accident occurred in the area of Chicago. It seems that one of the drivers was trying to eat a risotto and hold a camera while driving."

If I hear that one day, I'll know. :)

Bill, being a vegetarian I use mushroom soup and vege stock cubes with some wine.  I also add mushrooms and Quorn Pieces. The taste is amazing! You should try cooking a TAGINE, it's a Morrocan dish, lots of deep spice flavours. It would work best with meat so you would be OK.

Eww. Add the wine before the risotto, you need to cook the alcohol out of it first. Throw the crappy canned soup in the bin and make FRESH STOCKS.. it's eaaaasy. Use fresh veg. Ever heard of herbs? They're the (usually) green/leafy things, that aren't lettuce & make things taste good. Use some. Well... at least you added the stock in small amounts, but loads of things you could change with this to make it better. pm me if you wanna make it good, y'know, like a CHEF.... COOKbillcooks..

you can not use frozen peas and onions,

the wine should be added before to start adding the broth and when the risotto is ready remove it from the heat and add some butter and some fresh parsley finely choped

lol 5 stars for drivin wif the camera in ur hand plus!! eating the risotto good jods

I like putting veg in the broth too, peas and carrots are one of my faves. Coffee mug is a new one though. I dig the fact that you put the effort in to cook real risotto even though you were in a hurry. Keep it up.

Have not seen that one. So there is a point where you drive family nuts, is that it? I think of that as a plus.
