Green Veg & Mint Risotto

Time Taken:
1 hour
Portions:
3-4
Ingredients:
2 garlic cloves
2 vegetable stock cubes
1 brown onion
Half a mug of frozen peas
1 large courgette
1 pack of green beans
Large handful of fresh mint
300g long grain rice
600ml boiling water
Salt and pepper
Method:
Peel and crush the garlic. Dice the onion. Dice the courgette. Fry all together in a large frying pan in 2 Tsp butter on a low heat for 10-12 minutes until softened.
Chop the ends off the green beans and then cut into thirds. To the pan add the boiling water, 2 stock cubes, green beans, salt and pepper to season and the rice. Simmer on a low heat for 15 minutes.
Finely chop all of the mint. Add the peas and chopped mint to the pan and stir thoroughly.
Continue simmering for 8-12 minutes until the rice is soft and slightly "sticky". (If the rice seems to become a little dry, just add more water so it can be absorbed.) Serve!
