Ingredients
- 250 g Arborio Rice
- 1 - Black Pepper
- 3 cloves Garlic finely chopped
- 0.5 - Lemon juice only
- 1 tbsp Olive Oil
- 1 - Red Onion finely chopped
- 1 - Salt
- 250 g Shiitake Mushrooms (or whatever mushrooms are available), roughly chopped
- 1 pinch SuperValu Chilli Flakes to garnish (optional)
- 3 sprigs SuperValu Fresh Thyme to garnish
- 1 litre Vegetable Stock
- 4 tbsp White Wine (or more veg stock)
Method
- Put the stock in a small saucepan set on a high heat. Once it’s simmering, reduce the heat to low to keep it warm.
- Heat the oil in a large saucepan set on a high heat. Add the mushrooms, onion and garlic and cook for 3 minutes, stirring regularly. Add the rice and cook for 1 minute, stirring to coat it in the oil. Add the wine and cook for 1 minute, until it has all been absorbed into the rice.
- Using a small ladle, add about 120ml of the veg stock at a time. Reduce the heat to medium and stir the risotto almost constantly, giving it little breaks to come back to a gentle simmer. You want it to be cooking, not boiling.
- Continue to add the vegetable stock a little bit at a time, stirring until it has all been absorbed before you add the next ladleful. Cook until the rice is al dente (cooked through but still has a slight bite). This whole process should take 15 to 20 minutes. Remove from the heat, taste and season with salt and pepper and a squeeze of lemon juice.
- Ladle the risotto into warm bowls. Garnish with the thyme leaves and toasted cashews and a pinch of chilli flakes if you like a bit of heat.
