- Mix the chicken, vegetable and porcini stocks in a saucepan on a high heat, bring to the boil and then turn down to a gentle simmer. N.B. There should be a little more stock than you need but if you need more use plain boiling water.
- Transfer the microwaved vegetables to a deep/lidded fry pan and put on a high heat. Add the risotto rice and stir in. Throughout cooking lid the pan as much as possible and to cook: Ladle enough stock in to just cover the rice vegetable mix; add the pepper and garlic powder and stir in; bring to the boil and turn down to a gentle simmer.
- Add in more stock one ladle at a time, stir between each addition and ensure the mix returns to a simmer.
- After 5 minutes add the mushrooms (including the porcini).
