Ingredients
- 2 medium courgettes
- 1 red pepper
- 1 yellow pepper
- 1 onion
- 1 tbsp light olive oil
- 200g risotto rice
- 400ml vegetable stock (made with two cubes if using cubes)

Method
- STEP 1Dice all the vegetables into small similar sized cubes, about 1cm square is best. Heat the oil in a saute pan and then add the vegetables. Stir fry on a fairly high heat until the vegetables are soft.
- STEP 2Prepare the stock whilst the vegetables cook, then when they are soft add the rice and a third of the stock to the pan. Simmer on a low heat, stirring and letting the rice absorb the stock.
- STEP 3Once the first third of stock has absorbed add half the white wine, then when the wine has absorbed add the second third of stock. Repeat this process with the remaining wine and stock.
- STEP 4Once all the wine and stock has been absorbed the rice should be fairly soft and sticky. Serve sprinkled with the grated parmesan.
- STEP 5This dish serves three adults on its own, or can serve four as a side dish to chicken or fish.
