Makes 2-4 servings

Ingredients:

• 4-6 cups gluten-free low sodium chicken stock
• 2 Tbsp. olive oil (or 1 Tbsp. olive oil and 1 Tbsp. butter)

3. Add Arborio rice and stir continually, until slightly toasted and turning white at edges.
4. Add in white wine and cook until almost evaporated.
5. Start ladling in chicken stock, about 6 oz. at a time, stirring continually until almost evaporated.
6. Repeat this process about 5-6 times or until risotto is al dente, or the right consistency for you.

8. Add spring peas, garnish with additional blue cheese crumbles and serve immediately.
