A delicious rich recipe for vegetarians
 

Ingredients

  • 25g dried porcini mushrooms
  • 3 TBSP olive oil
  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 1 stalk celery, chopped
  • 225g chestnut mushrooms, chopped
  • 250g risotto rice
  • 75ml dry vermouth or dry white wine
  • 450ml vegetable stock
  • 2 TBSP black olives, pitted and roughly chopped
  • sea salt and black pepper
  • 2 TBSP black olive paste (tapenade)
  • freshly chopped chives, to garnish
Preparation: 25 Cook Time: 30 Total Time: 55min whats this
 

Directions

  1. Cover the porcini with boiling water and leave to soak for 10 minutes. Drain through a fine sieve or kitchen paper and reserve the liquid, place with the stock in a saucepan and heat just to boiling.
  2. Heat the oil in a large frying or heavy-based saucepan and fry the onion and celery until soft. Add the chestnut mushrooms and fry for 5 minutes, then stir in the rice until it is coated with the oil, about 5 minutes.
  3. Add the vermouth or white wine, stir and simmer until most has evaporated off. Begin adding the hot stock, one ladle at a time, stirring continuously with a wooden spoon and cooking over a medium heat. The rice will soften and absorb the stock as it cooks, about 30-40 minutes in total.
