Freekeh, Asparagus & Mushroom
Ingredients
- 250g Wholegrain Freekeh
- 1L Chicken Stock
- 100g Butter
- 100mL Olive oil
- 85g Asparagus – sliced
- 1 Leek - sliced
- 50g Oyster mushrooms
- 50g Button mushrooms
- 50g Swiss brown mushrooms
- 50g Shitake mushrooms
- 50g Shimeji mushrooms
- 50g Enoki mushrooms
- 20g Parsley - chopped
- 35g Garlic - chopped
- 100g Brown onion - diced
- Salt and black pepper
- Cream to adjust consistency
- 75g Parmesan Cheese
Method
Start by finely chopping all the mushrooms. Then add 50g of butter and half the oil to a saucepan. Sauté the leek, then add in the chopped mushrooms and cook for 5-10 minutes over low heat. Stir in parsley and garlic then set aside.
Add chicken stock to a separate saucepan and bring to the boil and keep on low simmer.
In a third separate saucepan, add in the remaining 50g of butter and oil and cook onions until soft. Add the freekeh and stir well to coat the grains in oil.
When the freekeh starts to stick to the bottom, pour in the boiled chicken stock, one ladle at a time until all the stock has been used. Continue to stir until all liquid has been absorbed.
Add the mushroom mix from step 1 and also the sliced asparagus into the freekeh risotto and continue to cook for a few minutes allowing it to heat through.
For a creamier risotto, add a little cream. Season with salt and pepper.
To serve
1. To serve: Serve risotto plain or with shaved parmesan cheese and fresh basil.
