Method
heat the lemon infused olive oil in a large frying pan
sauté the shallot and garlic, without colouring
add the celery and cook until soft
add the rice and stir until it starts toasting
add the wine and allow the alcohol to burn off, and the rice to absorb the wine
add one ladle of stock and stir until it is absorbed
add a pinch of flaked salt and another ladle of stock
once again stir while it is being absorbed
add another pinch of flaked salt and continue to add a ladle of stock at a time
you don’t need to stir all the time, but make sure you stir often and don’t add another ladle until the stock has been completely absorbed
when you have one ladle of stock left, add the peas and adjust the seasoning and add the herbs
now add the last ladle and check for doneness
at the same time as adding the last ladle of stock, heat the olive oil and 15g butter in a separate pan
add the chilli and the rest of the garlic
flash fry the calamari on a high heat until done
take the risotto of the heat and add 15g butter and mix in thoroughly
remove the chilli from the calamari
top with the calamari, the pan juices and garnish with the rocket
