Zucchini Risotto

Ingredients

Risotto Rice500g
Zucchini3 medium
Onion2 large
Garlic3 cloves
Mushroom3 large
Stock Cube1 cube
Butter2 tbsp
Parmesanto taste
Olive Oil2 tbsp

Instructions

  1. Cut up your onions, zucchini, and mushrooms into cubes, and chop your garlic very finely.
  2. Add olive oil to a pot on medium-high heat and sauté your onions and garlic until lightly golden and translucent.
  3. Add the mushrooms and zucchini to the pot, and let all the veggies cook, stirring frequently.
  4. In a smaller pot, dissolve the stock cube in boiling water to make your stock.
  5. Once the veggies are cooked through, add the risotto rice and start a timer with the time indicated on the package.
  6. Add the stock little by little as the rice cooks and absorbs it. The rice should not be submerged, but there should be enough water for the rice to cook.
  7. Stir frequently as the rice cooks.
  8. Once the timer goes off, taste to make sure the rice is cooked through, then add the cold butter and parmesan.
  9. Season to taste with salt and black pepper, top with more parmesan, and serve hot.
  10. Enjoy!
Tip!

Stir the risotto constantly as it cooks, as it can easily stick to the bottom and burn.

If possible, keep the pot of stock over the heat, so that it remains hot as you add it to your risotto.
