"This recipe takes a little patience, but it's pretty simple and worth the wait, and feels fancy! I used vegetables that're readily available this time of year, but you can use fresh or frozen veg, so it's easy to make with whatever you have in your kitchen."

  • Step 4/6

    Chop mushrooms however you prefer. I use bite size chunks, remember they will shrink a little with cooking. Stir them in.

  • Step 5/6

    Prepare the stock as per the instructions. Add a little liquid to the pan at a time, cook on a low heat and allow the rice to absorb the stock. Once absorbed, add a little more stock, and so on. Make sure your stock is HOT. I mix the stock cubes one at a time, that way you don't end up adding stock that's gone cold from standing. Stir often. You should see the rice begin to swell up and become a creamy consistency.
