Smokey Seafood Risotto.

Don't worry the seafood here is Arame, a sea vegetable!

Ingredients:

A little sunflower oil

1 onion

2 or 3 cloves of garlic

1 block of smoked tofu

a good handful of dried arame

500g/18 oz/2 cups basmati rice (this makes a large potful to feed a family - reduce the amount of rice and water accordingly if you want)

a cupful of frozen peas

Seasalt to taste

Water to cover

Fry the onion and garlic in the oil for a few minutes. Chop the tofu into small cuboids and add to the onion and garlic. Add the rice and mix well then add enough water to well cover the rice. Add the arame (you may need to add more water as seaweeds vary in how absorbent they are) and the seasalt. Bring to the boil then turn down to simmer. A few minutes before the end of cooking time add the peas. Nice served with a green salad
