Method1. Heat the olive oil in a large pan and cook the onions over a medium-high heat for a few seconds. Then, add the rice and cook over a low heat for about 1 min, stirring all the time until the rice looks glossy but not brown nor sticking to the bottom. 2. Throw in the garlic, seasoning and mushrooms, stir and then pour in about half the hot stock and stir well. Lid on and cook over a medium heat for 20-25 minutes, stirring often (3-4 minutes) and gradually and adding the remaining stock a little at a time until the rice has absorbed all the liquid. 3. Check that the rice is soft. If it needs cooking for longer, add a little more hot water. Once you are happy it the taste, plate it up and serve. (optional - for non-vegetarians, add parmesan shavings over the top) BIFF, BOSH, SIMPLE NOSH! |
