---

Prep Time: 10 minutes
Cook Time: 30-40 minutes
Yields: 6 Portions

Ingredients:

• 400g can chopped tomatoes
• 300g Cherry tomatoes – halved
• 250g risotto rice
• 200g mushrooms
• 1 onion – finely chopped
• 1 garlic clove – finely chopped
• 1 litre vegetable stock
• 2 tbsp. dark soy sauce
• Knob of vegan butter or extra virgin olive oil to fry
• Handful fresh basil
• Salt and pepper to season

Method:

1. Fry the onions, mushrooms, garlic and tomatoes in ‘butter’/oil under onions are starting to brown and mushrooms/tomatoes soften
2. Add the rice and fry and stir for 2 minutes – turn the pan down to a low-medium heat
3. Now add 1/4 of the chopped tomatoes and 1/4 of the stock (at a time) and stir – make sure you stir quite regularly otherwise it’ll stick!! 
4. Once the first lot of stock has nearly been absorbed, you can another 1/4 of each – repeat until all the tomatoes/stock has been used up
5. On the last 1/4 , shred 2/3 of the fresh basil and add in along with salt, pepper and the soy sauce
6. By the end (about 30-40 minutes) the rice and sauce should turn quite creamy and most of the liquid absorbed
7. Add a little more fresh basil to season/decorate
8. Enjoy!
