Preparation

  1. Risotto

    • Heat oil in a large pan over medium heat.
    • Add chopped onions and crushed garlic. Cook until onions are just tender.
    • Add rice and saffron threads, stirring to coat.
    • Combine KNORR Vegetable Booster with warm water.
    • Gradually add liquid to rice, stirring between additions. Rice should be al dente with nearly all the liquid absorbed. Add extra boiling water if needed.
    • Season and stir through preserved lemon.

  2. To Serve

    • Serve risotto with roasted red onion wedges and sautéed rainbow chard.

  3. Tip

    • Preserved lemon is available at gourmet delis and some supermarkets. Scoop out the flesh and discard, then chop or slice the skin to use.
