METHOD

  1. Heat the olive oil in a pan and sauté the onion, carrot and celery for
    2-3 minutes until soft.

  3. Then add the wine and fresh thyme and simmer for 10 minutes.
  4. Add the rice, paprika and the stock and simmer for a further 20 minutes.
  5. Serve with some crusty bread, a dollop of crème fraîche and a sprig of parsley.

Chef’s tip

Try to avoid stirring the mushrooms too much in the pan as this can make them chewy and bland.
