Cooking Instructions
Instructions for 2 people (double for 4)
1
Chop the walnuts coarsely
Cut the leeks in half lengthways, discard the root ends and wash between the leaves
Cut into 1cm slices
Crush the garlic with the side of a knife, peel it and chop finely
2
Grate the beetroot and parmesan
Boil a kettle
Dissolve the stock cube(s) in 800ml (1.6L) of boiled water
3
Place a large wide-based pan (preferably non-stick) on a medium heat
Once the pan is hot, add the walnuts and toast for 3-4 min or until golden brown, shaking the pan regularly
Remove the walnuts from the pan and set aside, reserving the pan for the next step
4
Add 30g (60g) of butter to the pan and return to a medium heat
Once the butter is foaming, add the garlic and leek and cook for 3 min, stirring often
5
Add the rice and cook for about 5 min or until beginning to turn golden, stirring to coat evenly
6
Add 200ml (400ml) of stock to the rice and allow it to absorb, stirring constantly
Add the oregano and stir through
Allow the stock to absorb fully before gradually adding the rest, a ladle at a time
7
Once most of the stock has been absorbed and the rice is almost cooked through, add 100g (200g) of crème fraîche
Add the beetroot and cook for another 10 min or until the rice is fully cooked through, stirring constantly
