a white bowl filled with green vegetables and shredded parmesan cheese on the side

Risotto primavera is a classic Italian dish, using any seasonal spring veg. Here we’ve chosen asparagus, broad beans and spring onions, adding a fresh herby hit to finish off the dish. The onion, celery and carrot trinity are known in Italian as ‘soffritto’ (literally, ‘slow-fried’); they give a good flavour base to any risotto, soup or stew. The two minute wait at the end, stirring in butter and cheese to finish is known as the ‘mantecura’; it adds the final creamy touch to the dish.

When you visit the farmers’ market during spring, you’ll find loads of leeks, green onions, asparagus, and green peas. They’re perfect for making this spring-inspired risotto primavera. Finish the dish with a good sprinkling of freshly grated parmesan cheese and plenty of chopped fresh herbs.

risotto prima vegeta with peas and other ingredients

"Primavera" is generally used to describe a pasta or rice recipe that is full of spring vegetables, such as peas, asparagus, broad beans, and the like. Lucky for most of us, these ingredients are available well into the summer depending on where we live. And lucky for me, I was able to turn it into a simple and delicious risotto dish. Don't be afraid of leftovers, either. The flavors just meld and get more intense the next day. Yum!
