Ricettario d'Italia

In breve

The dish in short

  • Fresh shelled peas and Vialone Nano rice in equal weight, 500 g of each for six, with fresh white onions, parsley, olive oil, butter and parmigiano.
  • A chicken broth with celery, carrot, onion and a clove of garlic, made preferably the day before and strained.
  • The peas cook first, with the onions, parsley, oil and half a glass of water, for 10–15 minutes until the water is absorbed.
  • The rice goes in with the peas and cooks as the hot broth is added a little at a time, until still a little al dente.
  • Off the heat: butter, parmigiano, pepper and enough broth to make it ‘all’onda’, just brothy, moving softly when the plate is moved.
