Ingredients
- 2Â 1/2 ounce Butter or possibly marganne
- 1Â 1/4 lb Onions, diced
- 2 x Cloves garlic, finely minced (optional)
- 1 x Bulb fennel, minced into 1cm/ 1/2 in dice
- 1 lb Basmati rice
- 6 fl ounce Dry white wine
- 12 fl ounce Warm water or possibly light vegetable stock
- 1 x Bay leaf
- 3 ounce Fresh Parmesan cheese
- 2 fl ounce Double cream
- 5 ounce Fresh white breadcrumbs
- 1 bn Fresh chives, snipped very small
- Â Â Salt and freshly grnd black pepper
Directions
- Heat the butter in a pan and cook the onion and garlic gently, with the lid on, for about 30 mintites, adding the fennel about half way through, till tender but not browned.
- Add in the rice and stir for 10 min. Pour in the wine and warm stock together with salt and the bay leaf. Bring to a simmer, stir and then cover the pan and cook for 15-20 min till the liquid is absorbed and the rice tender. Remove the bay leaf and stir in the Parmesan and double cream.
- Pre-heat the oven to Gas Mark 6. Lightly butter an ovenproof dish and fill with the rice mix. Sprinkle the breadcrumbs mixed with the chives over the rice and bake in the pre-heated oven for 15 min till the breadcrumbs are a pale golden brown colour.
- Serve with a green salad and steamed broccoli tossed in extra virgin olive oil and grain mustard.
- NOTES : Soubise is a kind of French risotto made with long grain rice instead of Italian, short rounded rice. Unlike risotto, it is not stirred during cooking but left to absorb the wine and stock as it gently simmers.
- I've added the fennel to the onion for an even sweeter, more delicate flavour and, if you wish, add in sauteed mushrooms or possibly spinach towards the end of the cooking time.You could also serve it straight from the pan, simply garnished with fresh herbs, rather than bake it with breadcrumbs but this does give it a homely feel that makes it perfect for family meals.
