A taste of Italy will never be quite out of reach with this easy quick and easy risotto, at once healthy and tasty. We love the taste of sautéd mushrooms and bacon, mixed it with kale, parsley and fragrant butter – a combination fit for a homely, delicious meal, all ready in half an hour.

Ingredients

Steps

01.

Pour stock into medium saucepan and bring to a slow simmer on medium. Reduce heat to low and keep warm.

02.

In a large heavy-based saucepan heat oil on medium. Sauté mushrooms, bacon, leek and garlic for 3-4 mins, until leek is tender. Add rice, stirring for 1 min, to coat well in oil.

03.

Pour in wine and cook, stirring, for 1 min until absorbed. Add hot stock, 1 cup at a time, stirring between each addition, until liquid is almost absorbed (15-20 mins). Rice should be creamy with a slight bite.

04.

Stir in kale, parsley, parmesan and butter. Season. Set aside, covered, for 2 mins. Serve with extra parmesan and lemon.
