Did you know that
To prepare this recipe, we recommend using a rice rich in starch (eg Carnaroli, Vialone Nano): in this way, the grains will remain attached and a creamy effect will be obtained.
However, those who do not like this result can use parboiled rice for a “detached grain” effect.

Meanwhile, boil the peas in plenty of unsalted water for 10-15 minutes, or until soft.
Take ¾ of the peas together with a ladle of cooking water, then combine them in a narrow container with high sides. Add a pinch of salt and blend everything until you get a semi-thick cream.
Wash the cherry tomatoes, cut them into very small pieces and flavor them with oil, salt, pepper and oregano.
When the rice is ready, stir in the robiola (or with simple ricotta or grated parmesan) and add the peas previously kept aside.
Place a pastry rings on a serving dish and fill halfway with the creamy rice. Level with the back of a spoon, then distribute a part of the cherry tomatoes.
Pour the pea cream around the steel ring. Gently remove the pastry rings and serve the tricolor rice.
