FENNEL, LEMON, PEA AND PRAWN RISOTTO


INGREDIENTS:


- 1 litre (4 cups) chicken stock

- 1 cup (250ml) water

- 90 grams (3oz) butter

- 1 medium onion (150g), chopped finely

- 1 baby fennel bulb (130g), chopped finely, fronds reserved

- 1/2 cup (125ml) dry white wine

- 1 1/2 cups (300g) arborio rice

- 1/2 cup (60ml) frozen peas

- 1 tablespoon finely grated lemon rind

- 500 grams (1lb) shelled and deveined uncooked medium prawns (shrimp), tails intact (see tip)

- 1 clove garlic, crushed


INSTRUCTIONS:


Bring stock and the water to the boil in a medium saucepan. Reduce heat to low; simmer, covered.


Meanwhile, heat 60g (2oz) of the butter in a large saucepan over medium heat; cook onion and fennel, stirring, for 5 minutes or until tender. Add wine; simmer for 3 minutes or until reduced by half. Add rice; stir to coat in mixture.


Add 1 cup of the hot stock; cook, stirring gently, over medium heat until liquid is absorbed. Continue adding stock in 1-cup batches, stirring, until stock is absorbed after each addition. Total cooking time should be 25 minutes or until rice is tender. Stir in peas and rind; season to taste.


Meanwhile, heat remaining butter in a large frying pan over medium-high heat; cook prawns with garlic for 2 minutes or until prawns change colour.


Serve risotto topped with prawns and reserved fennel fronds. Accompany with lemon wedges and scatter with baby sorrel leaves, if you like.
