Seafood Risotto


We are so lucky to live in Australia and have access to a sumptuous array of fresh fish to choose from. This brown rice risotto is deliciously filling for an autumn evening.

Ingredients:

  • 1 1/2 cups brown rice (soaked overnight in water)
  • 1 large piece of blue eyed cod
  • 10 fresh prawns
  • 1 green capsicum
  • 1/4 cup of coconut oil/butter/ghee
  • 1 leek
  • 1 vegetable stock cube
  • Large handful of green beans
  • Fresh thyme or oregano
  • 3 cloves of garlic
  • 1 zucchini
  • 1 fresh red chili
  • 1 lemon/lime
Method:
  • Start by cooking your brown rice in the vegetable stock cube
  • Chop beans, capsicum, leek, chili and garlic and stir fry in the coconut oil
  • Next add the blue eyed cod and prawns and cook for a further 5-10 minutes
  • Once the brown rice is cooked, add it into the wok. Add a cup or two of water depending on how much sauce you would like.
  • Add some freshly chopped thyme or oregano
  • I served my risotto with some fresh rocket and a squeeze of lemon - simply delicious!
