Method

Serve immediately with freshly grated parmesan.

Wash and roughly shred the mixed lettuces.

Boil 1L of stock and keep it at a simmer.

Soften onions and garlic in olive oil in a heavy-based pan.

Coat the rice in oil and gradually add stock one ladle at a time until absorbed.

Add lettuce, peas, and spring onions after 15 minutes of cooking.

Stir in the butter once the liquid is absorbed and rice is tender.
