Method
- Put the red pepper halves on a grill rack, skin-side up, and cook under a medium heat until the skin chars. Now put the peppers in a plastic bag and leave them to cool, then peel off the skins and chop the flesh.
- Heat the oil and butter in a pan, add the onion and cook it over a medium heat for 5-7 mins, or until it softens but doesn’t colour.
- Add the rice to the pan and cook for 1-2 mins, stirring well, then add the sherry to the pan and stir until most of it evaporates.
- Gradually add the hot vegetable stock to the pan, stirring with each addition of liquid, adding enough stock until the rice is just tender.
- Cut 4 slices of goats’ cheese and reserve. Chop the rest and stir into the risotto, then add the red pepper and season. Spoon into bowls and place a slice of goats’ cheese on each, grinding over some black pepper before serving. Garnish with chopped parsley.
