Ingredients
- 1 medium onion, chopped
- 1 clove garlic, chopped
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 1/2 cups Arborio rice
- 1/2 cup white wine
- 6 cups chicken stock, hot, from recipe collection
- 60g Parmesan cheese, grated
- 6 spears of cooked asparagus, sliced
- 6 snow peas, sliced
- 1 spring onion, chopped
Method
- In a large saucepan heat the oil and cook the onion and garlic until tender but not coloured.
- Add the rice and stir through the onion until the rice ‘crackles’, about 1-2 minutes.
- Add the wine and half a cup of stock, stirring constantly, adding additional 1 cup measures of the stock after all the liquid is absorbed.
- Continue until the rice is tender and the stock absorbed, resembling a creamy consistency, not dry or soupy.
- Remove from heat and stir through parmesan and vegetables.
Alternatives
- Using a pre-prepared stock liquid or powder will result in a higher sodium/salt content
