Base Ingredients

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Cook the Base

    In a medium saucepan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic, sautéing until the onion becomes translucent, about 3-4 minutes.

  2. 2

    Add the Rice

    Stir in the Arborio rice, cooking for an additional 2 minutes until the rice is well-coated with the oil and slightly toasted.

  3. 3

    Add Coconut Milk and Broth

    Pour in the coconut milk and vegetable broth, stirring well. Bring to a gentle simmer.

Cooking

  1. 4

    Simmer the Risotto

    Reduce heat to low, cover the saucepan, and let it simmer for about 20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the rice is creamy and tender.

  2. 5

    Add Peppers and Seasonings

    After 20 minutes, add the diced red bell pepper, frozen green peas, salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper. Stir well and continue to cook for an additional 5 minutes.

  3. 6

    Finish with Lime and Cilantro

    Remove from heat and stir in the chopped cilantro and lime juice. Adjust seasoning to taste.

Serving

  1. 7

    Plate the Dish

    Spoon the creamy risotto onto serving plates.

  2. 8

    Add Toppings

    Top with sliced avocado and halved cherry tomatoes. Serve with lime wedges on the side for additional flavor.
