SERVES: 4 // COOK TIME: 1 hour
INGREDIENTS
8 rainbow carrots
8 pattypans
3 tbsp olive oil
1 onion, finely chopped
2 garlic cloves, finely chopped
1½ cups Arborio rice
¾ cups dry white wine
4½ cups bone broth
3 tbsp butter
1⁄3 cup grated Parmesan
To serve
2 handfuls mangetout, blanched
2 radishes, sliced
½ cup fresh parsley
METHOD
1. Preheat the oven to 200°C.
2. Toss carrots and pattypans in 1 tbsp olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Place on a baking tray and roast for 10–15 minutes until just tender.
3. Heat the remaining oil in a pot over medium. Add the onion and garlic and fry for 6–8minutes until soft and translucent.
4. Add the rice and fry for 2–3minutes then pour over the wine and cook, for about 2 minutes, until absorbed.
5. Add ½ cup broth to the rice and cook, stirring constantly, until absorbed. Then, slowly add the remaining bone broth, ¾ cups at a time, and repeat the process until the rice is soft and the liquid is completely absorbed, about 20–25 minutes.
6. Mix in the butter and the Parmesan and stir until melted.
To serve
1. Spoon the risotto into bowls and top with the veg, mangetout, radish slices and parsley.
