Method

Step 1‍

Bring stock and wine to the boil in a medium saucepan. Reduce heat to low and simmer, uncovered, until required.

‍

Step 2

Meanwhile, heat oil in a large, heavy-based saucepan over medium heat. Cook onion and garlic, stirring, for 5 minutes or until softened. Add rice and cook, stirring, for 2 minutes or until rice is opaque. Reduce heat to low and add hot stock, ½ cup (125ml) at a time, stirring constantly until almost all the liquid is absorbed – this should take about 20-25 minutes.

‍

Step 3

When adding the last quantity of stock, stir in asparagus, peas and broad beans. Season. Cook, stirring occasionally, for 5 minutes or until vegetables are just tender. Stir in lemon rind and half the parmesan. Serve sprinkled with remaining parmesan and lemon quarters.
