23 of 24

Chicken and mushroom risotto

Method               Serves 4                    30mins

Heat oil in a pan over a medium to high heat and add the leek and thyme. Stir and cook for 2 mins, then cover and leave for 2 mins.

Remove the lid and turn the heat to maximum. Add the chicken and 1⁄3 of the chopped fresh mushrooms. Cook, stirring occasionally, for 2 mins. Add the rice and stir to combine.

Drain the soaked mushrooms, reserving 150ml of the liquid. Add this to the pan with the mushrooms and let it bubble up.

For the next 20 mins, add the stock to the rice a ladleful at a time, stirring constantly. Don’t add too much each time, or you will lower the heat, which increases cooking time. After 20 mins, all the stock should be incorporated and the rice should be just soft to the bite.

Cover with a lid and rest the risotto for 2 mins.

Meanwhile, melt the rest of the oil in a large frying pan over a high heat. Add the remaining mushrooms and fry for 1 min, without turning, to caramelise.
