Sweet Corn & Pea Risotto Method

1) Bring stock to the boil in a large saucepan over medium-high heat. Cover. Reduce heat to low.

2) Heat oil in a large, deep frying pan over medium heat. Add brown onion. Cook for 5 minutes or until softened. Add garlic. Cook, stirring, for 30 seconds or until fragrant. Add rice. Stir to coat. Add wine. Simmer for 2 minutes or until reduced slightly.

3) Add 1/3 cup of stock to rice mixture. Cook, stirring constantly until the liquid is absorbed. Repeat with remaining stock, 1/3 cup at a time, until liquid has absorbed and rice is tender, adding corn with the last 1/3 cup of stock.

4) Remove from heat. Top with asparagus and snow peas. Stand, covered, for 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Sprinkle with sesame seeds and green onion. Serve.
