Hi everyone.

This makes an appearance a few times a month, often when we have guests around. Very easy, and really adaptable. We have made versions of this with thai red & green curry. You can also stir through a pasta sauce to give it a kick. It can be vegan, vego or have meat in it. I stick to vegan, but it works well all three ways.

1 onion, peeled and diced
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 cup aborio rice
2 cups stock *
1.5 cups assorted vegies **
1/4 cup toasted pine nuts

1. Place onion & oil in a 2 litre casserole dish. Cook uncovered for 2-3 mins on high, stir, cook for another 2-3 mins.

2. Stir in rice and mix well until rice is covered with oil. Add stock and vegies. (If you are planning on using meat, add this here too - in small pieces so it will cook too). Cover & cook for 12-15 mins on high. Do not stir.

3. Allow to stand, covered, for 3-5 mins

4. Stir thru pinenuts & parmesan/soy parmesan if desired & serve.

Tuck in!

* I usually use chicken or vegie stock

** You can put in heaps more vegies than this, but it can take forever to cook them all properly.
