Peas of mind

My attempts at growing food has produced some excellent if modest results. The challenge is to grow something, anything edible. Not only to address increasing food prices and poor food quality, but growing food is incredibly satisfying.

Peas are just coming into their own and the first harvest today will become a fresh pea risotto.

Fresh chives, pecorino and lemon zest along with some chicken stock. Dinner is soon to be served. 

My ratio has also been 1 cup arborio rice to 6 cups hot chicken stock. The rest is icing on the cake so to speak.

The finishing touch is a hit of stone milled organic olive oil with bitter oranges hailing from Crete.
