Creamy risotto with prawns, goat's cheese, and fresh spring vegetables.
Ingredients:
  • 2 tsp finely grated lemon rind
  • 2 tsp fresh dill leaves, finely chopped
  • 75.08 gm extra virgin olive oil
  • 1530.00 gm vegetable liquid stock
  • 1 large brown onion, finely chopped
  • 2 garlic cloves, crushed
  • 300.00 gm arborio rice
  • 1 bunch asparagus, trimmed, cut into 3cm lengths
  • 125.00 ml frozen baby peas
  • 50g baby spinach
  • 100g medium green prawns, peeled, deveined, halved lengthways
  • 62.50 ml goat's cheese (see note)
  • 62.50 ml pine nuts, toasted
Instructions:
  • In a bowl, mix lemon rind, dill, and 2 tablespoons of oil. Season with salt and pepper, then set aside to let the flavors develop.
  • In a medium saucepan, heat the stock over medium-high heat until it simmers. Then, lower the heat to low.
  • Heat the remaining oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Sauté the onion for 5 minutes until softened. Stir in the garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant. Add the rice and cook for 1 minute to coat in oil. Simmer on low heat, gradually adding 1/3 cup of hot stock at a time, stirring until absorbed. Continue this process until all liquid is absorbed, and the rice is tender and creamy, about 20 to 25 minutes.
  • Combine asparagus, peas, spinach, and prawns with the remaining 1/3 cup of hot stock. Season with salt and pepper, then gently stir to combine. Cover the pan and let it stand for 5 minutes until the prawns are cooked through and have changed color.
  • Plate the risotto in serving bowls. Top with crumbled goat's cheese and pine nuts. Finish by drizzling with lemon and dill-infused oil.
