“Risotto” of Root Vegetables, Roast Ceps and Old Winchester

This 'risotto' from Sally Abe has no rice at all, it is made from Root Vegetables, Roast Ceps and Old Winchester! It's a bit lighter on carbs and makes the most of the great British veg that is in season.

Ingreadient :
    • 100g Pink Fir potato, diced
    • 100g white beetroot, diced
    • 100g parsnip, diced
    • 100g, Jerusalem artichoke, diced
    • 1 shallot, diced
    • 1 garlic clove
    • 1 spring rosemary
    • 1 sprig thyme
    • 100ml dry white wine
    • 100ml double cream
    • 50g Old Winchester, grated
    • Salt
    • Pepper
    • 2 large Ceps, halved
    • 50g butter
    • 1 garlic clove
Direction :
    1. To make the risotto, steam the root vegetables for 8-10 minutes until ¾ way cooked through.
    2. Sweat the shallots, garlic, thyme and rosemary in a medium sized pan and season with salt.
    3. Add the root vegetables and sweat for a few minutes before adding the wine, followed by the cream. Reduce until the cream coats the vegetables then stir in the cheese.
    4. To cook the ceps, heat a tbsp oil in a frying pan, add the ceps, season with salt and cook until golden brown. Add the butter, garlic and thyme then flip the ceps over and baste until cooked through.
