Method

  1. 1

    Heat the stock in a saucepan and keep it at a gentle simmer.

  2. 2

    Melt the butter in another pan and fry the onion for 2 minutes, then add the mushrooms and cook for 4–5 minutes until golden.

  3. 3

    Stir in the rice and cook for 1 minute, then add the hot stock a ladle at a time, stirring and letting each addition absorb before adding the next, for about 16–18 minutes.

  4. 4

    Stir through the peas for the final 3 minutes.

  5. 5

    Taste and adjust the seasoning.

  6. 6

    Remove from the heat, stir through the parmesan, and rest for a minute before serving.

Use up the rest

Cooking this for one leaves 130 g chestnut mushroom. These recipes finish them off, so plan one later in the same week.

Good with the rest of your week
