Ingredients:

1 cup Arborio rice

4-6 baby carrots, scrubbed

1/4 teaspoon freshly ground white pepper (black works too)

1/4 cup dry white wine or vermouth

1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil

2 Tablespoons chopped fresh basil

1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves

3 Tablespoons salted butter, divided

4 cups vegetable stock

Equipment:

knife

pot

bowl

Cooking instruction summary:

Pour stock into a medium pot and set over high heat. Bring to a boil, then lower heat and keep warm.Thinly slice zucchini and carrots on a mandoline or with a sharp knife. Set aside together with the peas.In a large heavy bottomed pot, melt 1 Tablespoon of butter with the oil. When butter is bubbling, add onion and stir to combine. Sauté onions for about 5 minutes until soft and translucent.Add rice all at once and stir thoroughly. You want rice to be completely coated in butter and give each grain a chance to be toasted. This takes about one minute.Add white wine and stir well. Be careful, as it will steam viciously. Cook for another minute or two until most of the liquid evaporates.Add several ladlefuls of hot stock to the rice. Stir well. Keep heat on medium and continue adding stock slowly and stirring thoroughly. Cook for 15 minutes, stirring often. You may need more liquid, in which case, just add more hot water.When the rice grains are tender, but still with a slight bite to them, add the prepared vegetables. Stir gently to combine. Cook for 4 minutes.Tip in the Parmesan, pepper and remaining 2 Tablespoons of butter. Stir to combine, but do NOT over stir, as risotto will become gummy instead of creamy. Taste the risotto and add salt as needed.Lastly, fold in the fresh herbs. Transfer the risotto to a serving bowl, if using, and top with remaining Parmesan and a few additional herbs. Serve with a spoon and enjoy.

Food Joke

Juan was driving down a country lane in his pickup when suddenly a chicken darted into the road in front of him. He slammed on his brakes, but realized that the chicken wasspeeding off down the road at about 30 miles an hour. Intrigued, he tried to follow the bird with his truck, but he couldn`t catch up to the accelerating chicken. Seeing itturn into a small farm, Juan followed it. To his astonishment, he realized that the chicken had three legs. Looking around the small farm, he noticed that ALL of thechickens had three legs.The farmer came out of his house, and Juan said, "Three-legged chickens? That`s astonishing!"The farmer replied, "Yep. I bred `em that way because I love drumsticks."Juan was curious. "How does a three-legged chicken taste?"The farmer smiled. "Dunno. Haven`t been able to catch one yet."
