So as I lay pathetically around the house, I realise it is time to eat something both yummy and simple.
So here are two of my favourite Go-To Vegetarian Recipes for when I am watching the Lord of the Rings Trilogy on TV.
Cheesy Parmesan Risotto
1 cube of vegetable stock
1.5L water
1 tblsp olive oil
½ red onion diced
2 cloves garlic crushed
2 cups Arborio Rice
¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
2 tblsp of tomato paste
¼ cup of Parmesan shavings
sea salt
cracked pepper
fresh basil
dried oregano
1. Place the stock & water in a medium saucepan bring to the boil. Reduce heat to a gentle simmer
2. Meanwhile, heat oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add the onion and garlic & cook, covered, stirring occasionally, until the onion is soft.
3. Add the rice to the onion mixture & cook, stirring, until the grains appear slightly glassy. Add a ladleful of stock to the rice mixture and stir constantly with a wooden spoon until the liquid is completely absorbed. Continue to add stock, stirring constantly and allowing the liquid to be absorbed before adding the next ladleful.
4. This process will take around 20 min or until the rice is tender yet firm to the bite. Stir in Parmesan, seasoning & tomato paste until risotto is pink and creamy.
5. Serve with Parmesan shavings & piece of ciabatta bread
and then...
Chilli, Cheese and Honey Bread
Cibatta Bread ( Or any bread if you have any)
Honey
Chilli Flakes
Cheddar Cheese
Turn on the Grill in the oven
Slice up Cibatta Bread into slices 2-2.5cm thick
Lather up honey all over 1 side of the bread
Sprinkle Chilli Flakes over the honey -
Cover bread in Cheddar or Mozzarella Cheese
Grill in the Oven until cheese is golden
Serve up and eat!
