Preparation

  1. What you need

    • Select the number of serves you require for this recipe, and the quantity of ingredients will be automatically adjusted accordingly.

  2. Risotto

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

  3. To Serve

    • Transfer risotto to serving bowls. Top with roasted onion wedges and sautéed rainbow chard.

  4. Chef's Tip

    • Preserved lemon can be found at gourmet delis and certain supermarkets. Scoop out and discard the flesh, then chop or slice the rind to use.
