Don’t be put off by thinking risotto is tricky because it’s not. It just needs a little patience and attention – it’s actually even therapeutic after a busy day.

Instructions

  1. DISSOLVE 3 TABLESPOONs of MARMITE IN 1 PINT OF BOILING WATER. FINELY DICE 2 LARGE SHALLOTS AND 1 CLOVE OF GARLIC AND PREPARE 1 TEASPOON OF FRESH THYME LEAVES AND THE ZEST OF 1 LEMON. MELT 25G of BUTTER IN A HEAVY-BASED PAN, SAUTé THE ShallotS AND GARLIC UNTIL SOFT THEN ADD THE THYME AND ZEST.
