- Heat the oil and butter in saucepan on a medium heat. Cook the onion, chilli and mushrooms for five minutes until the mushrooms are browned and the chilli and onion are soft.
- Stir in the risotto rice and coat it in the oil and butter. Add a small amount of stock at a time so the rice absorbs the stock.
- Continue this on a low heat until all the stock has been absorbed, this should taken about 10-20 minutes.
- Throw in the peas and prawns and stir until they're defrosted.
- Sprinkle in the cheeses and parsley, give it more stir and serve.

Show more commentsWe have tried this recipe a few times now and it's great. We find that we need a lot more stock - about twice as much as to cook for twice as long to get the best results, otherwise the rice too hard. :)
