Vegetable Risotto

(From the Week 8 WW Booklet)

 

Ingredients:

1 Cup Vegetable Stock
50g Mushrooms, finely sliced
1 tsp Olive Oil
1/4 onion, finely chopped
1/2 stick celery, finely chopped
60g risotto rice
50g baby spinach leaves
1 tbs grated parmesan cheese

 

Method:

Bring stock & mushrooms to boil, then remove the mushrooms.  Set aside.
Heat oil in a pan and saute onion & celery for 4 minutes
Add rice, cook & stir for 1 minute
Add 1/4 of the stock, stir and bring to a simmer
Gradually add more stock as the rice absorbs the liquid, continue until rice is cooked.
Just before rice is ready, add the mushrooms, spinach and cheese.
Rest for 3 minutes before serving.

Serves 1
Points (if made as above): 4
If made without cheese: 3

Variations: I didn't have any cheese or spinach, so didn't add the last 2 ingredients.

Comments from Jumbo Jennie:
Yum, yum, yum, yum, yum!  What more can I say.  I love rice, and have always wanted to make a risotto ( I have never had one before, didn't even know there was such a thing as Risotto Rice!) It was really easy to cook and low in points!  Now that I know the basics behind cooking risotto, I look forward to trying it with other vegetables.
