Mock Risotto recipe
Quick and easy recipe for Mock Risotto with goat's cheese. Its slighty spicy and very delicious, especially since it only takes about 10 minutes to throw together!

Ingredients

about 2 cups cooked basmati rice
1 red or orange pepper, diced
1 onion, diced
1 large clove of garlic, minced
1 tomato, diced
4-6 small mushrooms, diced
pinch of dried chile pepper flakes
150g (1 small log) soft rindless fresh goats cheese (no rind - this is important!)
olive oil
butter (optional)
salt and pepper

Directions

Steam the rice to re-heat, or warm in the microwave.

Heat a little olive oil in a pan. Add the chile flakes, onion and garlic and sautee until the onion starts to soften but not brown. Add the pepper and tomato until the pepper starts to soften, then add the mushrooms.

Add the rice and mix thoroughly. Once the mixture is hot through, stir in the goats cheese a tablespoon at a time. Mix well, check for seasoning and add salt and pepper to taste.

Just before serving, I added a blob of butter, but this is optional. Not everyone has the close relationship with butter that I have.
