- Lime
- Limes
- Low-Sodium Soy Sauce
- Mirin
- Onion
- Onions
- Peanuts
- Shimeji Mushrooms
- Spinach

From your kitchen:
- Oil (cooking, olive or coconut)
- Salt & Pepper
- Water
- Paper Towel
- Butter (optional)
START THE RISOTTO
Boil a kettle. Place a pot over a medium heat with a drizzle of oil. When hot, fry the diced Onion for 3-4 minutes until soft and translucent, shifting occasionally. Dilute the Vegetable Stock with 350ml of boiling water, set aside. Add the curry paste (to taste) to the Onions and fry for 1-2 minutes until fragrant. Add the rinsed Black Rice and coat in the curry paste. Add in the diluted stock and the Coconut Cream (reserving 1 tbsp for plating). Leave to simmer for 35-40 minutes until the rice has absorbed most of the liquid but is still creamy.
TOASTY Peanuts & THE ASIAN DRESSING
Place the Peanuts in a pan over a medium heat. Toast for 3-5 minutes until golden, shifting occasionally. Remove from the pan on completion and set aside. Roughly chop when cool enough to handle. In a small bowl, combine ½ the soy sauce, ½ the Mirin and juice from 1 Lime wedge to taste, and set aside for step 5.
FRY THE MUSHROOMS
When your risotto has 8-10 mins left to cook, gently wipe the mushrooms clean with a damp cloth or paper towel. Place a pan over a medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil and knob of butter (optional). When hot, fry the mushrooms for 3-5 minutes until soft and golden, shifting as they colour. Remove from the heat on completion, season to taste and set aside in the pan to keep warm.
FINISH THE RISOTTO & TOSS THE SALAD
Once the risotto has finished cooking, season to taste with soy sauce - the salty element, Mirin - a balance of sweetness, and Lime juice - gives the dish the zing. In a separate bowl, add the rinsed Spinach, ½ of the chopped Peanuts and the asian dressing. Toss to combine and set aside.
FORBIDDEN FEAST...
Plate up the oozy Black Rice risotto and swirl through the remaining 1 tablespoon of Coconut Cream. Top with the golden Shimeji Mushrooms. Garnish with the remaining Peanuts, chopped coriander and a Lime wedge. Serve the Ohitashi Spinach salad on the side. Enjoy!
