Ingredients
- Garlic Clove: 3 garlic cloves, finely chopped
- Onion: 1 large onion, halved and sliced
- Vegetable Stock: 700ml reduced-salt vegetable stock
- Parsley: small pack parsley, chopped, stalks and leaves separated
- Butternut Squash: 200g chunk butternut squash, peeled, deseeded and diced
- Rapeseed Oil: 1 tsp rapeseed oil
- Basmati Rice: 125g brown basmati rice
- Mushroom: 10 pieces dried mushroom, chopped
- Sage: 2 tsp chopped fresh sage
- Button Mushroom: 140g small button mushroom
- Gorgonzola: 40g gorgonzola, crumbled
Directions
- Heat the oil in a large non-stick pan, add the onion and garlic, and fry for 5 mins. Tip in the squash and button mushrooms, and cook for a few mins more. Stir in the rice, then pour in the stock. Stir well, then add the dried mushroom, sage and parsley stalks. Cover and simmer over a low heat for 35-40 mins until the rice is tender - check towards the end of cooking and add a little water if the rice has absorbed all the stock. If there is a lot of liquid, uncover and cook for an additional 5-10 mins.
- Take off the heat, fold in the parsley leaves and cheese with some black pepper, then allow to stand for 5 mins before serving.
