Method
- Place the milk, sultanas and honey in a small pan and set aside for 15 minutes until the sultanas plump up. Heat for 2 minutes to warm through.
- Melt the butter in a large non-stick pan and stir in the rice. Cook for 1 minute, then add half of the warm milk (use a spoon to stop the sultanas escaping), and cook for 10 minutes, stirring constantly.
- Pour in the remaining warm milk and the sultanas. Stir and cook for a further 8-10 minutes, until the rice is tender. Not all of the milk will have been absorbed into the rice at this stage, but it will during cooling.
- Cover the rice (see the food team’s tip) and leave in a cool place for 2 hours. Divide the risotto between bowls and top with a spoonful of cream and a sprinkling of pistachios to serve.
