GET THE RISOTTO GOING...
Boil the kettle. Dilute the stock with 400ml of boiling water. Place a pot for the risotto over a medium heat with a drizzle of oil. When hot, sweat the diced Onion for 3-4 minutes until soft and translucent. Add the grated Garlic and ½ the chopped thyme and cook for 1-2 minutes until fragrant, shifting constantly. Stir through the rice for about 30 seconds. Pour in the wine and simmer until evaporated. Add a ladleful of stock and allow it to be absorbed by gently simmering, stirring regularly. Only add the next ladle of stock when the previous one has been fully absorbed. Repeat this process for 20-25 minutes until the rice is cooked al dente. Season to taste.
CARAMELISED Pork
Place a nonstick pan over a high heat with a drizzle of oil. When hot, add the mince and the remaining Thyme and work quickly to break it up as it starts to cook. Allow to caramelise for 5-6 minutes until browned, stirring occasionally. Season to taste.
FINISHING TOUCHES
When the risotto is cooked, stir through ½ the caramelised mince, ¾ of the grated hard cheese, and a generous knob of butter (optional). Season to taste.
AS SIMPLE AS THAT!
Dish up the creamy risotto and top with the remaining crispy Pork mince and the grated hard cheese. Garnish with the fresh Parsley and finish with a squeeze of lemon juice. Buon appetito, Chef!
