Ingredients
200g Arborio rice
50g butter
1 medium leek, sliced
250g mushrooms, sliced
2 garlic cloves, crushed
700ml vegetable or chicken stock
50g Parmesan cheese, grated
Salt and pepper to taste
Fresh parsley for garnish (optional)
Suitable for: Drew&Cole Microwave Air Fryer Oven Combo (25L)
The Method
In a microwave-safe dish, combine the butter, sliced leek and crushed garlic.
Select the Microwave function, the power will be on full (HIGH P100), press the Start button to confirm. Turn the control knob to adjust the cooking time to 3 minutes, then press Start. (The leek should be softened – microwave for a further minute if needed).
Stir in the Arborio rice, making sure it's well-coated with the buttery juices from the vegetables. Microwave the rice mixture on full (HIGH P100) for 1 minute to lightly toast the rice.
Stir in 2/3rds of the stock. Cover and microwave on full (HIGH P100) for 5 minutes, followed by 7 minutes on medium (MED P50).
Stir in mushrooms and remaining stock. Cover and microwave on medium (MED P50) for a further 5 minutes. Stand, covered for 3-5 minutes.
Add parmesan, parsley and remaining butter. Season with pepper. Stir to combine and serve.
