Gusto & Grano - Gardener's Pea and Herb Risotto - Mealmaker in 20 minutes

Love risotto but don't like the faff? Gusto & Grano Risotto kits are based on Italian "Risotto Pronto" - quick risotto.

Plain or Pimped? Italians rarely put other ingredients on top of a risotto buy hey, we're at home! Risotto is a great way of using up leftovers like chunks of sausage or leftover roast chicken as additions. We recommend microwaving leftover ingredients till hot then stirring into your Gusto&Grano risotto at the same time as you add butter/cheese. Or you can add saucy leftovers on top, pre-warmed. Think leftover bolognese sauce, a family casserole made with meat or beans!

This recipe is inspired by a friend with heritage from the Bay of Naples where peas, tomatoes and green herbs grow in abundance. The herb we use is marjoram known as the 'forgotten' herb. With its grassy, lemony flavour and delicate aroma it's an old-fashioned gardeners' favourite with a taste of Summer.
