Instructions
Melt butter in heavy large saucepan over medium heat, add evo, bay leaf and onions. Season with salt and pepper. Cook until onions are translucent. Add minced garlic. Saute until tender, roughly 8 minutes. Stir in the rice and toast it for a few minutes. Add wine, cook until the liquid is absorbed, stirring often, about 2 minutes. Add 1 cup of HOT chicken broth at a time, making sure the liquid is absorbed, stirring often. This process should be done over medium low heat and will take about 28 minutes. Add 1 cup of chicken broth roughly every 3 minutes. Cook the rice until tender and mixture is creamy. Continue to stir in the peas, Parmesan, salt and pepper to taste. Cook until the mixture has absorbed all the liquid. It will double in size. Let cool and don't eat it all. For some reason, the mixture doesn't last long around my house.
Risotto works really well with Chianti, Verdicchio, and Trebbiano. Italians know food and they know wine. Trebbiano and Verdicchio are Italian white wines that pair well with fish and white meat, while Chianti is a great Italian red for heavier, bolder dishes. One wine you could try is Cecchi Chianti Classico. It has 4 out of 5 stars and a bottle costs about 19 dollars.
