Vegetable Risoni
Serves 12
Ingredients
1 brown onion (diced)
1/2 cup risoni
1/2 cup yellow split peas
1/2 cup pearl barley
1/2 cup red lentils
1 head of broccoli (broken into florets)
1 large carrot (diced)
2 cups vegetable stock
salt and pepper to taste
fresh flat leaf parsley to garnish
What do I do now?
Fry your onion in a little olive oil, add the rest of the ingredients and fry for about 5 minutes.
Add the vegetable stock – bring to the boil for a minute or two and then reduce the heat to low and simmer until the risoni is cooked (about 15-2o minutes).
If it looks too thick you can just add a little water and stir to combine.
Drizzle with olive oil and garnish with fresh parsley.
Enjoy!
Anything else I should know?
You could add zucchini or sweet potato, pumpkin or any other vegetable you like to this – use whatever you have in the fridge. This is a simple, tasty, filling meal that you could also have as a side dish.
