Written By Healthy Living Platform

We created and perfected this easy and tasty recipe for seasoned couscous during our community cafe sessions. You can accompany this with a variety of stews and roasted veggies.

This recipe caters for 15 people.

Ingredients

  • 2.5 courgettes

  • 1.5 onions

  • 1kg arborio rice

  • 3ltrs vegetable stock

  • 80g butter

  • 150g parmesan

Method

  1. Slice onion thinly and chop courgettes in small cubes.

  2. Prepare stock and keep hot.

  3. Heat a bit of evo in a pan, saute onions until golden and courgettes for a few minutes.

  4. Add rice and stir to coat it in the oil.

  5. Pour a few ladles of stock in the pan and stir so that the rice is just about covered and simmer on a low heat.

  6. Keep adding stock and stirring to cook evenly, and avoid rice sticking to the bottom of the pan. You want your risotto to be creamy.

  7. After approximately 20 minutes make sure that the rice is cooked al dente and then remove from the hob.

  8. Add butter and parmesan, stir and serve nice and hot!
