olive recipe
Grilled chicory and walnut risotto
30 minutes
butter  
onion 1 small, finely chopped
garlic 1 clove, crushed
arborio (risotto) rice 400g
chicken stock  fresh, cube or concentrate, made up to 1-1½ litres
chicory 4 heads, quartered or halved
olive oil  
parmesan 4 tbsp freshly grated
walnut halves 100g, toasted and roughly chopped
parsley 2 tbsp, finely chopped
Melt a good knob of butter in a deep frying pan, add the onion and garlic and cook briefly. Stir in the rice and then add the stock. Stir well and bring to the boil. Reduce heat to a low simmer and cook for 17-20 minutes until the rice is cooked, stirring once or twice.

Meanwhile, toss the chicory in a little olive oil and fry until browned around the edges and a little wilted. Beat the parmesan into the risotto, then stir in the walnuts and parsley. Season. Serve with the chicory.
