- Toast the rice in a saucepan with some olive oil and add all of the piping hot vegetable stock. Stir lightly to mix the rice with the stock, place a lid on the saucepan and lower the heat as much as possible. Let the rice cook for 10 minutes, or till tender, but do not stir.
- When the rice is cooked turn off the heat, add the chopped pistachio nuts, saffron, liquorice powder, butter and Parmesan. Mix well to make the rice creamy.
- Serve the risotto after decorating the dish with some pistachios and a sprinkling of liquorice powder.
