Mushroom & Spinach Risotto

4 cups of low sodium chicken stock 2 tbsp of olive oil 2 tbsp of Oh! So Onion 2 tsp of Oh! So Garlic 2 tbsp of Spinach & Herb Mix 1 cup of chopped button mushrooms 2 cups of Arborio Rice 1 ½ cups of white wine Sea Salt & Fresh Ground Pepper 2 tbsp of butter ½ cup of grated parmesan cheese

5.

Heat the stock.

In a separate pan, heat the olive oil and add the spices and mushrooms.

When the vegetables have softened, add the rice and turn up the heat.

The rice will now begin to lightly toast, so keep stirring it.

After a minute it will look slightly translucent. Add the wine and keep stirring — it will smell fantastic.

6. Once the wine has cooked into the rice, add your first ladle of hot stock and a good pinch of salt.

7. Turn down the heat to a simmer so the rice doesn’t cook too quickly on the outside.

8. Keep adding ladlefuls of stock, stirring and working the creamy starch out of the rice, allowing each ladleful to be absorbed before adding the next.

This will take around 15 - 20 minutes.

9. Taste the rice — is it cooked? Carry on adding stock until the rice is soft but with a little bite.

10. Don’t forget to check the seasoning carefully.

If you run out of stock before the rice is cooked, add some boiling water.

11. Once rice is cooked, remove from the heat and add the butter and Parmesan. Stir well.

12. Place a lid on the pan and allow risotto to rest for 2 minutes. This will allow it to reach the perfect creamy risotto texture it should be! Serve with fresh ground pepper and a sprig of fresh chives if desired.
