This Pea and Mushroom Risotto combines tender, earthy mushrooms with the natural sweetness of fresh peas, creating a perfectly balanced dish that’s creamy, flavourful, and effortlessly satisfying. Ideal for a cosy dinner or a special occasion, this risotto brings gourmet flair to your kitchen without the need for constant stirring.
