Background
This no-stir risotto with summer vegetablesΒ is actually a bit of a cheat, but it's as delicious as the real thing - you just don't have to stand over it stirringΒ constantly! It's easy-peasy! Β Perfect side dish for grilled or fried meat and fish.
Ingredients
- 1 Tbsp olive oil
- 1 knob of butter
- 2 leeks
- 1 litre hot chicken stock
- 150g risotto rice
- 2 small courgettes (zucchini)
- 200g green peas
- Parmesan cheese
- Salt and pepper
Instructions
- Thinly slice the leeks.
- Melt the batter in a heavy-based deep pan and gently cook the leeks until soft.
- Add the rice and fry for 1-2 minutes. Pour in about 800 ml chicken stock and simmer for 15 minutes.
- Slice the courgettes and add to the risotto together with the peas. Cook for 5 minutes. If necessary, add the remaining stock (this version should be more juicy than traditional risotto).
- Serve with shaves of Parmesan cheese and freshly ground pepper.
