Pea & Mint Risotto
NS
Inspired by Nigel SlaterMy Thermomix reimagining of their pea risotto
My Thermomix take on a Nigel Slater-style pea and mint risotto — fresh, green and creamy with no stirring.
This is my independent Thermomix homage to Nigel Slater and the comforting appeal of pea risotto. It keeps the spirit of the original inspiration, but the method is written fresh for TM6 and TM7 cooks who want clear settings and a warm, achievable result.
