Time 1h

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 ounce butter
7 ounces wild mushrooms or 7 ounces chestnut mushrooms, wiped clean and sliced
1 onion, finely chopped
1 garlic clove, crushed
10 1/2 ounces arborio rice
5 tablespoons white wine
3 1/4 cups vegetable stock, hot
1 tablespoon thyme leaves
4 1/2 ounces mozzarella cheese, cut into 12 pieces
4 tablespoons all-purpose flour, seasoned with salt and pepper
3 tablespoons sunflower oil

Steps:

  • Heat 1oz of the butter in a frying pan over a medium heat, until foaming. Add the mushrooms and fry for 3-4 minutes. Drain off any excess liquid and set the mushrooms aside.
  • Return the pan to the heat, add the onion, garlic and remaining butter and cook for 5 minutes. Add the rice and stir for 1 minute. Add the wine and simmer until reduced to almost nothing. Add a ladleful of stock and simmer until nearly absorbed. Keep adding the stock in this way, until the rice is al dente - about 20 minutes. Fold in the thyme and mushrooms. Season, cool slightly, then chill until cold.
  • Shape the risotto into 12 cakes. Make a hole in the centre of each and press in a piece of cheese. Cover by squeezing the sides together.
  • Roll the risotto cakes in the flour. Heat the sunflower oil in a large frying pan and fry the cakes, in batches, for 3-4 minutes each side or until golden and crisp. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on kitchen paper. Keep warm in a low oven while you fry the rest.
  • Serve 2-3 risotto cakes each, with a little dressed salad and a spoonful of your favourite chutney / relish.
