Seasonal Vegetable Risotto with Tenderstem and Toasted Hazelnuts

September 19, 2017 / Niki / 1 Comment

This is the second recipe inspired by my farm visit to MWW as guest of the Coop. A day spent in the Worcester countryside visiting fields of fresh and vibrant vegetables.

You can find more details here about the wonderful day I spent at MWW trying their fantastic fresh seasonal veg here

But I was lucky enough to leave with a veg box full to the brim with fresh vegs including; tenderstem broccoli, string beans, courgette and pak choi which inspired me to make a comforting seasonal veg Risotto, with string beans and courgette, tomatoes and lots of nutritional yeast for a fantastic cheesey flavour.

This dish is comforting and warming – perfect for the start of September when its getting chillier. But still super healthy with all the greens and B vitamins from the nutritional yeast.
As a very happy accident I turned off the heat and popped the lid on the pan while I stir fried the tenderstem broccoli and toasted the hazelnuts and I’m so glad I did! As I got a super soft, gooey and cheesy Risotto.

I really hope you enjoy this. Thank you again to MWW and the Coop for the fantastic fresh seasonal veg which inspired ths.

I'd love to know if you made this recipe.

Next add the garlic and fry for a minute then add rice and stir for a minute then add in the wine. Stir to combine thoroughly.
Add 2 ladle fulls of stock at a time until all the liquid is absorbed. Add the chopped tomatoes and string beans & courgette.
When the rice is nearly the consistency you like it add in the lemon juice, nutritional yeast, salt and pepper and stir well.
You can eat at this stage or if you want a super gooey, soft and comforting Risotto turn off the heat and pop the lid on and let it sit for 10 -15 minutes while you make the stir fried broccoli.
