Risotto con piselli, limone e ricotta



Tonight I made Pea, Ricotta and lemon zest risotto from the River Cafe Green book. Well, ok, the two shops on my way home from work didn't have any ricotta so I actually made Pea, Feta and lemon zest risotto.

And yes I do know that feta is nothing like ricotta. They certainly taste different and they have very different textures but hey they're both white cheese. Isn't that enough? Apparently it is. I didn't add any salt as feta usually has plenty and I pureed it down while I was pureeing the peas.

Wrong cheese or not it turned out lovely. Risotto can be a bit classy (certainly when I make it) so I also served a green salad with a nice sharp raspberry vinegar dressing.
