May 5, 2008
Ingredients:
- Rice
- Leek - sliced
- Mushrooms - diced
- Pepper - diced
- Gammon steak - diced
- Onion - sliced
- garlic salt
- Vegetable oxo (roughly 1 per 2 person serving)
- Chives
- Mixed herbs
- Basil
- Milk
How to make it:
In a large pan put the relevant amount of rice needed for the amount of people, add to this a decent amount of water covering the surface with an additional cm of water
To this crumble in the oxo cube, place a lid onto the pan and simmer for a few minutes before adding the onion, leek and gammon steak, stir thoroughly and re-cover for a further 5 minutes
One that time has passed add the mushrooms, herbs and chives excluding the basil, add more water if necessary and re-cover
Finally the risotto should be nearly done, add the basil and pepper along with a good helping of freshly ground black pepper, a small dash of milk and some garlic salt, (this milk makes the risotto taste slightly creamier, add the desired amount to taste) continue to stir for a further few minutes to reduce water content left in the pan,
Before serving check the rice is thoroughly, and add seasoning to taste
Serve with a few extra fresh chives and enjoy!!!
