Leek and Mushroom Risotto

  • RECIPE MAKES: 2 portions
  • PREP TIME: 15 minutes
  • COOK TIME: 20 minutes
Step 1

Heat vegetable oil in a medium sized saucepan over a low heat.

Step 2

Add leek, mushroom, capsicum and garlic; saute for 4-5 minutes; until vegetables have softened.

Step 3

Stir rice into pan; increase heat to medium; stir constantly for 1 minute; the rice will appear semi-transparent.

Step 4

In a jug, dissolve stock cube in water; then mix in the ProZero.

Step 5

Add ½ cup stock/ProZero to the vegetables and rice; decrease heat to low (simmer); keep stirring until liquid completely absorbed.

Step 6

Repeat until all of the stock/ProZero has been incorporated; the rice will be soft and the risotto will have a creamy texture (will take approximately 15 minutes).

 

Step 7

Divide into 2 portions and serve with coriander (if using).
