Prawn Risotto With Basil
- 1 Knorr Fish Stock Pots
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 onions or 2 shallots, finely chopped
- 2 cups risotto rice
- 1/2 cup dry white wine
- 4 handfuls basil leaves
- 7/8 pound king prawns raw, headless, peeled and chopped
- 3 1/2 ounces sun-blush tomatoes chopped
- 2 mascarpone 2 teaspoons
- First, make the stock. Bring 1.5 litres of water to the boil in a large pan. Add in the Knorr Fish Stock Pots, stirring well, until dissolved. Bring to a gentle simmer.
- Add the butter and olive oil to a heavy casserole dish and heat gently until butter melted.
- Add in the onion and fry gently, stirring often, for 5-10 minutes until softened, but without allowing the onion to colour.
- Mix in the risotto rice, stirring well to coat in the butter mixture.
- Add in the white wine and cook, stirring, until most of the wine has evaporated.
- Now add in 3 ladlefuls of the simmering Knorr fish stock. Cook stirring until the rice has absorbed the stock. Repeat the process, cooking it over medium heat and stirring it constantly.
- After 15-20 minutes, when the rice is nearly ready, add in the basil and the prawns and stir in.
- Add the sun-blushed tomatoes and stir in. Add in the mascarpone and stir in. Cook, stirring, until the prawn pieces have turned opaque and are cooked through. Serve at once.
