Between May and June the Spring peas are harvested and the harvest period is staggered. The ready pods are those that are still green and well turgid. Tired of always eating Risi e Bisi (typical Venetian dish)? Why not use the opportunity of fresh spring peas to prepare the Risotto con crema di piselli e pancetta - Risotto with bacon and cream of peas! Risotto with peas is undoubtedly a creamy and delicate first course on the palate. Enriching it with bacon, it will become even more tasty and appetizing.
