You Will Need:

  • 500 - 750 g beef marrow bones, cut horizontally or vertically
  • 2 T (30 ml) Ina Paarman’s Beef Flavour Stock Powder
  • 1 litre boiling water
  • 3 T (45 ml) butter
  • 1 onion, finely chopped
  • 1 t (5 ml) Ina Paarman’s Green Onion Seasoning
  • 1 cup (250 ml) risotto rice
  • 50 g hard cheese, grated
  • freshly ground black pepper

Method:

Microwave the bones for 2 minutes to soften the marrow slightly.

Scoop out all the marrow with a teaspoon. Cut the marrow into pieces. The dogs will love the bones!

Dissolve the Beef Stock Powder in the boiling water. Keep on one side.

Sauté the onion pre-seasoned with Green Onion Seasoning in the butter until soft and translucent.

Add the rice and bone marrow.

Stir-fry on medium heat until the rice changes colour.

Add the warm stock ladle by ladle to the rice while stirring.

Wait for the stock to be absorbed before adding the next ladle. Continue like this until all the stock is absorbed. Cover with a lid and leave to stand away from the heat for 10 minutes.

Add half the grated cheese to the risotto, stir to allow everything to melt together and bind the risotto.

Taste for seasoning.

At the table, top with freshly ground black pepper and remaining cheese and enjoy with a glass of red wine.
