Indulge in Curtis Stone's savory banana prawn risotto for a crowd-pleasing meal.
Ingredients:
  • 187.50 ml shredded parmesan
  • 42.00 gm fresh lemon juice
  • 20.00 ml lemon zest
  • 500g raw banana prawns, peeled and deveined
  • 40.00 ml finely chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
  • 1530.00 gm chicken stock
  • 500.00 ml of 1cm dice, peeled, butternut pumpkin
  • 250.00 ml finely chopped fresh fennel
  • 1/2 medium brown onion, finely chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic, finely chopped
  • 400.00 gm Arborio Risotto Rice
  • 375.00 gm dry white wine
Instructions:
  • Heat the chicken stock in a small heavy-based saucepan over high heat until hot but not boiling, then cover to keep warm.
  • Heat a large, heavy-based non-stick pan over medium heat. Add oil and heat for 2 mins. Cook pumpkin until it begins to brown for about 5 mins. Add fennel, onion, and garlic, cook until vegetables soften, around 3 mins. Stir in rice until coated with oil and hot, about 1 min. Pour in wine, stir until most of it evaporates, approximately 1 min. Mix in lemon zest.
  • Stir in 1 cup of hot stock to the rice mixture and cook over a steady simmer for 2 minutes, stirring almost constantly until absorbed. Gradually add the remaining hot stock, 1 cup at a time, stirring until absorbed before adding more. Cook for about 18 minutes until the rice is creamy and al dente.
  • Add prawns and cook for approximately 4 minutes, stirring occasionally and adding more stock if necessary, until prawns are just cooked but still tender. Take the pan off the heat, then stir in parsley and 1/2 cup parmesan. Finish by stirring in lemon juice and seasoning with salt to taste.
  • Serve the risotto in four wide bowls and top with the rest of the parmesan and freshly ground black pepper before enjoying.
