Add the arborio rice to the pan and stir well until each grain of rice is coated with oil. Pour in the first ladleful of hot stock. Stir the risotto until the stock has been absorbed, then continue to add the stock at intervals in this way. 5. About 15 minutes into the Cooking time, when the rice is almost done, but still just a little bit chalky in the middle, add the shredded lettuce, peas and sliced spring onions. Stir gently to mix the Vegetables through the rice. At first it will seem like you have added far too much lettuce, but it will soon wilt and give up its juices to the rice. 6.
