Serves 4

 

INGREDIENTS
 

2 sachets (50g each) Knorr Cream of Mushroom Soup 

¼ cup butter

1 onion, diced

2 cloves garlic, crushed

1 cup arborio rice

¾ cup dry white wine (optional)

Juice of ½ lemon

  1. Pour the Knorr Cream of Mushroom soup sachet into 1.2 litres boiling water and stir to combine.

  3. Add garlic and stir for an additional minute. Remove mushroom mixture from pan and set aside.

  4. Add remaining butter to pan over medium heat. Once melted, add rice and stir until rice begins to go translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
