£7.60/kgThis is about using up what you have – bits that usually end up in the bin, such as a parmesan rind, vegetable trimmings, forgotten herbs and (possibly wilting) bags of salad in the fridge drawer.
Please note that while we take every care to ensure the product and recipe information displayed on our website is correct, in the event that a product is unavailable, alternatives may be displayed and/or a substitution may be given. This may affect the nutrition and allergen information, therefore if you have any allergy or intolerance, please ensure you have reviewed the product label to ensure it is suitable for you to consume.
Heat 20g of the butter in a large heavybased pan. Once melted, add the onion and vegetable trimmings. Cook over a low heat, stirring occasionally, for 6-8 minutes, then add the risotto rice and cook for 2-3 minutes more, stirring to toast the rice. Bring the stock to a simmer in a neighbouring pan as you cook.
Add the wine and cook, stirring until absorbed, then add the cheese rind (if using) and the hot stock, 1 ladle at a time, stirring continuously – only add the next ladleful when the previous one has been absorbed.
After about 20 minutes, when the rice is almost al dente and most of the stock has been used up, add the remaining butter, grated cheese, salad leaves and chopped herbs. Pour in a final ladle of stock, stir vigorously until well combined, then cover and let the risotto sit off the heat for 2 minutes. Serve immediately. The cheese rind will now be soft enough to eat, so cut into pieces with a knife, for sharing.
Keep chopped fennel, leek and celery trimmings in the freezer, ready to be cooked down as a base for risottos, soups and stews, adding loads of flavour at no extra cost.
