- Fresh Parsley
- Garlic Clove

- Golden Wine
- Italian-style Hard Cheese

From your kitchen:

STOCK PREP
Boil the kettle. Place a pot (large enough for the risotto) over a medium heat. Once hot, toast the Pine Nuts for 3-5 minutes until golden brown, shifting occasionally. Remove on completion. Dilute the stock with 700ml of boiling water.
CHARRED MARROWS
Return the pot to a medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil. When hot, fry the sliced Baby Marrow discs for 3-5 minutes until charred, turning halfway. On completion, remove from the pan, season, and cover to keep warm.
RAVISHING RISOTTO
Wipe the pot clean, if necessary, and return to a medium heat with a knob of butter (optional) and a drizzle of oil. When hot, sweat the diced Onion for 3-4 minutes until soft and translucent. Stir through the rice and the grated garlic for about 1 minute, until fragrant. Pour in the Golden Wine and simmer until evaporated. Add a ladle 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.
FINISHING TOUCHES
When the risotto is cooked, stir through the grated hard cheese and a knob of butter. Mix until fully combined. If too thick, loosen by mixing in a splash of milk or water. Season to taste and remove from the heat.
