Ingredients

  • 1 white onion diced
  • 50 g butter
  • 300 g Arborio rice for risotto
  • 1 litre chicken or vegetable stock
  • 300 g Swiss brown mushrooms
  • 1 pinch salt to taste
  • 1 pinch pepper to taste
  • 100 g parmesan cheese
  • 100 g mascarpone cheese
  • 2 spring onions finely chopped

Instructions

  • Place the onions and butter in a large microwave-safe bowl. Cover with a microwave-safe lid and cook in the microwave oven on MICRO POWER high for 3 minutes or until soft. Stir in the rice, cover and continue cooking for 1 minute.
