method
- Rinse the spelt under cold running water.
- Place a suitable size pan over a medium heat and add the rapeseed oil. Add the onion, celery, garlic and thyme and cook over a medium heat until the onions and celery are soft and translucent (but no colour). Add the rinsed spelt and cook for a further couple of minutes.
- Add the white wine and reduce completely.
- Gradually add the stock in stages stirring frequently until the spelt is al dente cooked. Remove from the heat and set aside.
- Meanwhile place an additional pan over a medium heat and add the butter, carrot and shredded cabbage and lightly sauté. Add a splash of water and steam vegetables until tender.
- Return the risotto to the heat and fold through the cabbage, carrot, parsley and grated cheddar. Add some additional stock if required to achieve the right consistency.
- Finish with the chopped walnuts, parsley and the juice of the lemon.
