- Heat the olive oil in a large flat-bottomed pan over a medium/low heat then add the rice. Stir to coat the grains in oil and toast for 2-3min, stirring continuously until the rice is slightly translucent.
- Add the stock a ladleful at a time, and simmer gently until the liquid has been absorbed before adding more, stirring frequently. Cook until the rice is al dente.
- Meanwhile, tip the peas into a bowl or jug and cover with boiling water. Once defrosted, drain the water then stir the peas into the risotto. Cook for a further 5min or until the rice is tender.

- Divide between two serving bowls, swirl through the remaining pesto and goats’ cheese and finish with a drizzle of lemon oil.
