100g feta cheese , crumbled
handful of pitted black olives , roughly chopped
3 tbsp flat leaf parsley , roughly chopped
4 tbsp olive oil
1 large onion , finely chopped
3 courgettes , roughly sliced
250g risotto rice , such as arborio
1l hot vegetable stock
140g petits pois

Steps:

Mix together the feta, olives, parsley and 2 tbsp of the olive oil.
Heat remaining oil in a large, deep pan. Tip in onion, sizzle gently for 5 minutes until softened. Add courgettes, soften for a couple of minutes, then stir in rice.
Pour in a ladleful of stock and stir until all the liquid has been absorbed.

Ladle into bowls, then scatter over feta and olive crumble.
