- 9m
- Serves:
- 2
Ingredients
- 1 cups (250ml) arborio rice
- 2 olive oil
- 1 onion, diced
- 1 fresh basil, chopped
- 1 spring onion, chopped
Method
Heat half the oil in a pan and add the onion. Sweat the onions for a minute or two without colouring them. Add the rice and mix with the onions.
Now add the vegetable stock a little at a time. Stir it every so often to keep the rice from sticking to the pan. Keep adding stock a little at a time until the rice is cooked 'al dente', or with a little bite.
Take it off the heat and add the remaining 1 tbsp of olive oil, the chopped basil and the spring onions. Stir it all together and serve.
