BEEF RISOTTO

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a large saucepan. Gently fry the onion for 3 minutes, or until softened.
• Add the garlic, and fry for 1 minute.
• Turn up the heat and add the mince, browning it, which should take 5 minutes.
• Lower the heat to medium and stir in the rice.
• Pour in the passata and sprinkle in the oregano.
• Stir and let the risotto simmer gently for 5 minutes or until the liquid has been absorbed.
• Add 125ml (¼ cup) of beef stock to the risotto, and keep stirring until the stock disappears. Repeat until you've used up all the stock.
• By this time, the meat should be cooked through. The rice shouldn't be dry but should rather have a sloppiness to it. If the rice is still not quite cooked, add a splash of extra stock or water and keep stirring until the rice is cooked to your liking.
• [Optional] Stir in the sugar.
• Melt the mozzarella into the risotto to add some stringy goodness to the risotto. Alternatively, serve as a topping along with grated Parmesan cheese. Serve immediately and enjoy!
