Keep an eye on them whilst you are making the risotto, they take around 20-30 minutes to cook.", "Meanwhile, Sautee the onion and garlic in the olive oil in a large sauteeing pan for 5 minutes, or until soft. Add risotto rice, and stir to coat for about 1 minute. Add white wine and cook for a further 4 minutes. Gradually add the stock and continuously stir for 10-15 minutes, or until the risotto is thick and the rice is ""al dente"".", "Meanwhile, put half the peas into a bowl and pour some boiling water over them (just until they go soft). Drain and then puree until fairly smooth in a food processor/blender. Set aside.", "About 5 minutes towards the end of the cooking time, add the pureed peas, the other frozen peas, fresh mint, and stir in. Once the risotto is ready, serve with the hot roasted tomatoes on top, and some extra mint leaves for garnish!"]
