I like to use homemade vegetable stock when making risotto, but if you haven’t got any to hand then vegetable stock cubes work perfectly too! My favourite way to make stock is to save up my vegetable scraps from the week and toss them in a big pot with lots of water, garlic, onion and peppercorns and simmer for 1-2 hours, then drain. It adds the most incredible flavour to meals, especially this risotto! It’s also a great way to reduce your food waste.
