|---|
Preparation
Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a pan over a medium heat. Add the onion and leeks, then fry until soft.
Add the rice to the pan and cook for another 2 minutes.
Add a little bit of stock. Cook, stirring everything occasionally, until the stock has been absorbed by the rice. Add a bit more stock.
Repeat until all the stock has been used. It should take 25 to 30 minutes and the rice should be soft with a slight bite to it.
When the rice has about 10 minutes left to cook, heat the other tablespoon of oil in a separate frying pan over a medium-high heat.
Add the cabbage to the frying pan and cook for 5 to 10 minutes, until it starts to become soft.
Once the rice has finished cooking, add the fried cabbage to the pan and stir everything well.
Cook for 5 minutes, but make sure the rice does not overcook.
Serve hot.
Tips
To store: Once cool, put the risotto in an airtight container and keep it in the fridge for up to 3 days.
