Cheesy pea quinoa risotto
Total time: 30 minutes
Prep time 5 minutes
Amount: One adult and one baby portion
Ingredients
- 1 tbsp unsalted butter or olive oil
- 1 small onion (finely chopped)
- 1 clove garlic ( minced)
- 100g quinoa
- 600ml hot homemade stock (see pages 230 and 231) or water
- 130g frozen peas (defrosted)
- 80g cheddar (grated) a squeeze of lemon and a handful of chopped herbs to finish (optional)
Method
Melt the butter or heat the oil in a medium saucepan over a medium heat. Add the onion and garlic and gently fry until soft and translucent.
Add the quinoa, stirring to coat it in the mixture. Add in the hot stock, a ladle at a time, waiting for each ladleful to evaporate before adding in the next.
When you have roughly one ladle of stock left, add in the peas and cheese along with the remaining ladle of stock. Stir until creamy and the cheese has melted into the stock. Remove from the heat and add the optional lemon juice and herbs now if you like.
Keeps for 2-3 days covered in the fridge.
