Mushroom Risotto
This mushroom risotto is so underrated! It's low in calories, but still just as creamy and flavourful as shop bought dishes that can be loaded with unnecessary fats and sugars.

20 g pecorino romano
2 garlic cloves
200 g mushrooms
2 spring onions
1 medium onion
1 l vegetable stock
1 tbsp olive oil

Dice the mushrooms and onion into small pieces. slice the spring onions, leaving the green aside.

Add half the tablespoon of olive oil to a large pan and heat over medium. Add the vegetables and cook until softened.
Remove from the pan and set aside.

Add the remaining olive oil to the same pan with the rice and garlic and gently toast it. Slowly add the vegetable stock, a cup at a time, while stirring continuously.
