Cooking time:  20-25 minutes
COOK'S TIP - For a main meal, add some diced, cooked chicken, a handful of prawns, or some grated Parmesan cheese and a few chopped nuts, when you add the rocket.  Make sure all the ingredients are heated through thoroughly before serving.

Ingredients

• 1 teaspoon olive oil
• 1 onion, finely chopped
• 300 g (10 oz) Arborio rice
• 1.2 litres (2 pints) Vegetable Stock
• 50 g (2 oz) rocket leaves
• salt and pepper

    Directions

• Heat the oil in a nonstick frying pan, add the onion and fry for a few minutes until softened.  Pour in the rice and stir well to coat the grains.

• With the pan set over a medium heat, gradually add a little vegetable stock.  Stir continuously while the stock is absorbed into the rice.  Keep on adding the stock a little at a time - this will take about 20 minutes.

• Stir in the rocket, reserving 4 leaves for garnish, and cook just until the leaves start to wilt.  Season to taste and serve each portion garnished with a rocket leaf.
