Cooking Instructions
Instructions for 2 people (double for 4)
1
Boil a kettle
Peel and finely chop the brown onion[s]
Grate the courgette[s]
2
Heat a wide-based pan (preferably non-stick) with a generous drizzle of olive oil and a knob of butter over a medium heat
Once the pan is hot and the butter has melted, add the chopped brown onion and grated courgette with a generous pinch of salt and cook for 6-7 min or until softened, stirring often
3
Meanwhile, dissolve the Knorr vegetable stock cube[s] in 700ml [1.4L]boiled water
Peel and finely chop (or grate) the garlic
Once the onions and courgette have softened, add the chopped garlic and cook for 2-3 min or until fragrant
4
Once fragrant, add the arborio rice and cook for 1 min to coat the grains in the oil
Tip: Add a drizzle more oil if your pan is looking a little dry
Add the stock, a ladle at a time, stirring continuously for 20-25 min or until all the stock is absorbed and the rice is almost cooked with a slight bite
5
Once the rice is almost cooked, stir through the jumbo prawns and cook for 3-4 min or until cooked
Tip: Your prawns are cooked when they have turned opaque
6
Peel half of the Italian hard cheese with a vegetable peeler to create cheese shavings, then grate the remaining cheese
Zest the lemon[s] (try to grate lightly with a micro-plane or sharp box grater and avoid grating the white pith, as this is very bitter!) and set aside for garnish
Juice the lemons[s]
7
Once the jumbo prawns are cooked, add the lemon juice, grated Italian hard cheese and a knob of butter and stir to combine
Season generously with black pepper and add the lemon zest – this is your Amalfi risotto with jumbo prawns
Dress the pea shoots lightly in olive oil
