Things You'll Need

• 200g of risotto rice
• 1 liter of veg stock
• 100g of chopped mushrooms
• 1 small onion, chopped
• 1 clove of garlic, chopped
• 1 green pepper, chopped

Instructions

How to Make a Rissoto

1. Take your chopped onions and garlic and place them in the frying pan with your olive oil. Cook until the onions start to brown slightly.

2. Take your chopped green pepper and mushrooms and add to the mix. Cook until they are slightly soft.

3. Add your wine and about 1/3 of the veg stock to the mixture in the pan. Add your rissoto rice.

4. Keep adding water as the risotto rice absorbs it. You will have to do this several times until the rice is completely cooked. It is best to add it in small quanities. The rice absorbs it easier, and your chances of adding too much are reduced. (Taste the rice frequently throughout this stage. When it goes soft, you'll know it is cooked. This is also important because, at this stage, the rice will no longer absorb any more water.)

5. Garnish the top with your Parmesan cheese and serve. This should provide a good meal for three to four people.
