Make

  1. Preheat oven to 425F (218C) degrees.
  2. Heat a saute pan (that you have a lid for) over medium-high heat. Add oil and then onions to heated oil with a dash of salt. Saute until softened, ~3 minutes. Next add arborio rice stir until rice gets a golden hint. Add in white wine and stir until absorbed.
  3. Stir in vegetable broth and salt and bring to a boil. Cover and transfer to oven. Bake in the oven for 20 to 25 minutes, until all the liquid has been absorbed.
  4. While risotto is baking, dice shallots and slice pears. Whisk together shallots, balsamic, Dijon, maple syrup and oil and dress kale leaves in vinaigrette.
  5. Transfer pan from oven to stovetop. Make sure to keep a kitchen towel over the handle of your pan to remind you that it's hot and came out of a hot oven! Return to a low heat and stir in peas and pesto and finish with a squeeze of lemon juice. Divide into bowls and serve with parmesan and parsley. Toss pears and walnuts into salad and serve alongside risotto.
