Method

  • step 1

    Put the dried mushrooms in a measuring jug and pour over 800ml boiling water. Stir in the balsamic and bouillon. Leave to soak.

  • step 2

    Heat the oil in a large wok or frying pan and fry the onion for 8 mins until soft and golden. Add the button mushrooms, thyme, rosemary, garlic and black pepper, then cook, stirring occasionally, for 5 mins. Pour in the dried mushrooms and liquid, then stir in the rice and leeks.

  • step 3

    Cover and leave to simmer for 30 mins until the liquid has been absorbed and the rice is tender but still nutty. Remove from the heat, then stir in the ricotta and grated cheese, and serve scattered with parsley leaves.

This looked like a dish from the 1970s, very brown so I added spinach to brighten it a bit, not sure what the ricotta added to the dish. It was eatable, it made more than 2 portions but I think next time I’d just make a less healthy risotto rather than this.

Everything about this recipe should have been amazing, loads of flavours I love. But it was just a bit meh for some reason. A half decent weeknight meal but nothing special. I did make it with basmati and wild rice but I don’t think that made the difference. Perhaps a glass of white wine early in…

Sara Buenfeld’s recipes are usually really to my taste. Not this one - it had a gluey texture and an extremely unpleasant aftertaste. I won’t be making it again.

Tastes all right but definitely something to eat by candlelight since the colouring is not too much on the appetising side.
