Preheat the oven to 150°C/140°C (fan) /300°F/Gas 2
Boil a kettle
Trim and finely slice the spring onion[s] and chop the chives finely
Peel and finely chop (or grate) the garlic
Dissolve the veg stock mix in 700ml [1.4L] boiled water
Heat a large, wide-based pan (preferably non-stick) with a drizzle of vegetable oil over a high heat
Once hot, tear and crumble both the portobello and chestnut mushrooms directly into the pan
Cook over a high heat for 3-5 min or until starting to brown and caramelise
Once caramelised, transfer the mushrooms to a baking tray (use tin foil to avoid mess)
Put it in the oven until later and reserve the pan
Return the pan to a medium heat and add the sliced spring onion and half of the chopped chives (save the rest for garnish!) with a knob of butter
Cook for 30 secs or until softened
Add the arborio rice and chopped garlic to the pan and cook for 30 secs, stirring to coat the grains in the butter
Add the Chinese rice wine and cook for a further 30 secs or until it's evaporated
Add 1/3 of the vegetable stock and stir continuously with a wooden spoon until it has absorbed
Continue to add the stock, a little at a time, stirring more or less continuously for 20-25 min, until all the stock is absorbed and the rice is cooked – this is your risotto
Meanwhile, grate the cheddar cheese
Once cooked, remove the risotto from the heat and stir in the grated cheese, clotted cream and half of the mushrooms (save the other half for garnish!)
Tip: Add a little more boiled water if your risotto is too clumpy – a risotto should have an almost porridge-like consistency
Season with pepper
Serve the risotto in bowls and top with the remaining mushrooms, a sprinkle of the remaining chives and a good grind of black pepper
Enjoy!
