About

Peas and mint come together again in this beautiful risotto that tastes rich and creamy but leaves you feeling light. We’ve served this the last couple of years at our Easter luncheon to rave reviews. Try it with pesto grilled shrimp on top (see Note) or match it with our colorful Spring Salad with Green Goddess Dressing.
