Ingredients

  • 5 Tbsp Bay’s Kitchen Concentrated Vegetable Stock
  • 1.2 Litres water
  • 350g Risotto rice
  • 250g Watercress
  • 100g Feta*
  • 50g Unsalted butter
  • 25g Parmesan cheese
  • 1 Glass dry white wine
  • 2 Tbsp garlic-infused olive oil
  • 1 Medium stalk celery, finely chopped
  • 1 Lemon
  • Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper

Method

  1. Bring the water for the stock to a boil in a large pan and stir through the concentrated stock. Keep on a low simmer.
  2. Reserve a small handful of the watercress for garnish, then blanch the rest of the watercress in boiling lightly salted water for a couple of minutes. Drain and then run under cold water to stop the cooking. Blitz with a splash of the stock until you get a gloriously green paste. Leave to one side.
  3. Heat the garlic-infused oil and half of the butter in a large, heavy-bottomed pan. Cook the celery for 5 minutes, until softened but not browned.
  4. Add the rice to the pan, stirring to make sure that it’s well coated. After a minute or so it will start to crackle and look translucent at the edges – at this point add in the wine and keep stirring, cooking until the alcohol has been evaporated and the liquid absorbed.
  5. Start adding the hot stock, a ladleful at a time, stirring continuously. Wait for most of the stock to be absorbed before adding the next ladleful – it should take around 20 mins for all the stock to be added. Taste to see if the rice is tender, but still has some bite.
  6. Stir through the watercress puree, the remaining butter and the parmesan cheese. Put a lid on the pan and allow it to sit for a few minutes before stirring again. Season well and add in a big squeeze of lemon. Divide the risotto between bowls, top with a handful of crumbled feta, a few fresh watercress leaves and another grind of black pepper.

*If vegetarian double-check Feta ingredients to make sure that it is one without Rennet. This can be substituted for an alternative cheese if preferred.

First Time Purchase

Bought as part of a Black Friday offer which was a perfect opportunity to try a range of sauces.
The Thai Green Curry was beautiful - aromatic and flavourful, and the perfect amount for 2 as neither of us like food "swimming" in sauce.

Love this stock!

So full of flavour! It’s the main stock we use in stews, soups and slow cooks. Perfect!

Concentrated Beef Stock
Very nice, and simple to use.

Tried this for the first time a few months back, came back and ordered more. Very tasty. I start with This Is Not Chicken and a selection of chopped veg, once simmered off I add the jar of sauce and another of oat or coconut milk ,because we like a lot of sauce, and simmer for A Bit while the rice cooks, and you get a proper tasty meal.

Concentrated Beef Stock
Great stuff!

I have used this before when my son, who is following a Fodmap diet visited. Although there are no onions or garlic in it, it is delicately flavoured with herbs and does the job perfectly for soups and stews. Very carefully wrapped, although I’m unsure whether the plastic netting around the jars can be recycled?

First time ordering

Recently had an op and had to change my diet. Looked for "free from everything" and Bay's Kitchen looked a good option. Not tried all the sauces yet but looking forward to! Tomato and Basil delicious! Will be ordering again soon!
