Two Cheese Risotto (GF)

Two Cheese Risotto


Tips:  I use a really good sauvignon blanc, and a really good chicken stock.  I don't follow this recipe to the word. I add cooked, seasoned cubed chicken breasts (500g).  If you are GF, check your stock and cheese. If I can't find rocket, I use baby spinach. Enjoy x

Ingredients:


olive oil
1 medium leak - thinly sliced
2 crushed garlic cloves
450g arborio rice (2 cups)
1/2 c. white wine
5 c. simmering chicken stock
2 finely diced tomatoes
180g mozzarella cut into small squares
1 c. grated parmesan
1 c. torn basil leaves
120 g baby rocket leaves 


Method:


1. Heat 2-3 Tbsp of olive oil, add garlic and leak.  Stir for 2 minutes. 

2.  Add the rice, stir to coat.  Add the wine and reduce by half.

3.  Add simmering stock, 1c. at a time.  Stir after each addition, until absorbed and rice is tender. (About 25 minutes).

4.  Add tomatoes, cheese, basil and half the rocket.  Season.  Stir gently to combine.  

5.  Remove from heat, cover and stand for 5 minutes. 

6.  Serve with remaining rocket.

The Many Symptoms Of Celiac.

Turning 30 should be celebrated, you are about to enter the best years of your life, so they say. But when I turned 30 all I could think was, how come everyone else isn’t complaining about how exhausting aging is? My health hadn’t even got to its worst at this point. I often wonder what triggered my celiac. Was I gluten intolerant first? Was it a virus? Maybe the mumps, the measles, phenomena? Maybe the flu? Or maybe childbirth was the final straw. My Grandads niece is the only family memeber I know of who has an autoimmune disease, so it’s just me in my immediate family. When I left home at 19, my diet changed, and not for the better. I worked a lot of jobs, 70 hour weeks were normal, I was also studying and partying pretty hard. Ironically, the first major change in my health I can remember, is when I worked in a bakery. All of a sudden my asthma wasn’t seasonal or if I had a cold, it was an everyday battle. Burning the candle at both ends, my Mum would say. I soon s...
