Summer vegetable risotto

Serves 2

2 tbsp olive oil

1 onion, chopped

2 cloves garlic, chopped

150g arborio rice

250ml white wine

500ml stock (I used a 500g bag of ready-made fish stock from M&S this time)

1 small courgette (50g), chopped

100g broad beans

small head of broccoli, in florets

2 tbsp grated Parmesan

Heat the oil and fry the onion and garlic until soft.
Add the rice and stir until coated in oil.
Turn up the heat and add the wine, letting it simmer to reduce.
Keep the heat high enough for a vigorous simmer and add the stock a little at a time, stirring until it absorbs a little.
Once all the stock is added, leave to simmer for about 10mins - until just before the rice is cooked.
Add the veg, turn the heat down a little, and cook for a further 5 mins.
Check the rice is cooked (leave to cook longer if not) and season to taste.
Remove from the heat, add the Parmesan, stir, cover, and leave for 2 mins.
Serve and enjoy! You might like this with a side salad - the lettuce in this week’s box (23.07.11) would work beautifully!

This recipe tastes even better made with vegetables from Community Harvest Whetstone :)
