CRANBERRY, CHESTNUT AND WHITE CHOCOLATE RISOTTO

CRANBERRY, CHESTNUT AND WHITE CHOCOLATE RISOTTO
Ingredients
  • 60g Riso Gallo Arborio Rice
  • 140g Oat Milk
  • 40g Cooked Chestnuts (you can buy them in vacuum packs - usually in the stuffing isle at the supermarket - any leftovers add to your Brussel sprouts!)
  • 30g Dried Cranberries
  • 40g White Chocolate
  • Zest of half a lemon
  • Nutmeg
Preparation

I have used oat milk as it has a nice creamy flavour and is not as heavy as regular milk - if you want to make it fully vegan, use a vegan white chocolate. And it is not as sweet as you might think.

Heat the milk first. Make the risotto in the usual manner adding the lemon zest with the first quantity of milk. I have found you need a bit more oat milk that you would regular milk but add a little extra if you have used it all and find the rice still a little too al dente.

Remove from heat and stir in the chopped chestnuts, cranberries and half the white chocolate which will enrich the mixture.

Once plated, grate on the rest of the chocolate, a little grated nutmeg and if you have some for a festive finish some gold dust powder.
