PRAWN GOAT CHEESE RISOTTO - WEIGHT WATCHER FRIENDLY
Do you have your boss, MIL or really good friends coming for dinner and you want to impress them? This side dish will certainly fit the bill! I usually coral my friends into making the dish (with me peeking over the shoulder), as it needs constant attention. So while I am doing the finishing touches to the dinner, friends are (literally) stirring the pot. We have had some lively conversations doing this recipe, with one time, my friend kept "splashing" her wine into the pot. Every time though, it has turned out perfectly. This will serve 4 as a main dish (Weight Watcher 10 points) or 6 - 8 people as a side dish (6 points Weight Watcher)

Steps:
- In a medium saucepan, bring broth to a boil. Reduce heat to maintain a simmer.
- In another large saucepan sprayed with cooking spray, heat oil over medium high heat. Cook onion and garlic for 5 minutes or until onion is softened. (Can be made ahead up to this point).
- Stir in rice, coating the rice with the garlic-onion mixture. Cook for 1 minute.
- Add 1/2 cup simmering broth to the rice mixture. Cook, stirring until liquid is all absorbed. Continue adding liquid until all has been absorbed, about 20 minutes.
- Adjust heat as necessary to maintain a slow bubbling simmer. Taste the risotto before adding the prawns. It should taste creamy, and the rice "al dente".
- Just before serving main meal, add prawns and goat cheese. Cook for 2 minutes longer or until prawns are cooked through and the cheese has melted. Add the parmasan cheese and pepper.
- Remove from heat. Add the basil.
- Options: In some recipes, white wine is added to the broth mixture. Decrease the chicken broth a bit to accommodate the wine, using only about 1/2 cup.

Steps:
- Blitz most of the watercress in a food processor with the basil and 1 tbsp of the olive oil until you have a smooth purée. Set aside.
- Heat the remaining oil and the butter in a large saucepan over a medium heat. Add the onion and a pinch of salt and cook on a low heat for 15 mins or until softened. Stir through the garlic and cook for 1 min. Add the rice and fry for 2 mins. Pour in the wine, simmer and reduce by half. Add half the stock and bring to a rapid simmer, stirring until the stock is absorbed. Once absorbed, add a ladleful of stock at a time and cook until the rice is al dente, stirring continuously for 20-25 mins, or until you have a loose risotto with a little bite - you may not need all the stock.
- Stir the watercress and basil purée through the risotto with the parmesan and lemon zest. Loosen the risotto with a dash more stock or hot water and season to taste.
- Top with the crumbled goat's cheese, toasted hazelnuts, reserved watercess and a drizzle of olive oil.

Steps:
- Bring 1litre/13⁄4pints water to the boil in a large pan, add 1 tbsp salt, then tip in the prawns, garlic and bay and return to the boil for 3-5 minutes until cooked, depending on the size of the prawns. Cool then shell the prawns. If they are large, you may wish to slice them, but leave smaller ones whole. Return the heads and shells to the stock and continue to boil for 20 minutes.
- Put a medium size, heavy bottomed pan with a tight fitting lid on a low heat. Tip in the olive oil and 25g/1oz of the butter, and cook the shallots or onion for 5 minutes until soft and translucent. Add 1 tbsp of stock to stop them colouring, if necessary.
- Stir in the rice so it absorbs all the buttery oil. When it is opaque and rustling as you stir, pour in all the wine. Keep stirring while the rice absorbs the wine - it should not evaporate into the air, so keep the heat low.
- Meanwhile, strain the stock, return to the pan, top up with water and turn up the heat. Turn up the heat under the rice, too, as you need a moderate to lively heat. Stir the rice and add stock as needed to keep a veil of water above the level of rice for 10 minutes.
- Add the prawns and tomato purée. From this point on I start to add less and less stock every time, to avoid the risk of forcing the rice to absorb too much stock. Start to taste the odd grain of rice. You want to stop cooking when it still has a tiny crunchy uncooked bit in the centre.
- Season the risotto with salt and white pepper. Take the pan off the heat, add the remaining butter and enough stock to cover the risotto by about 2.5-5cm/1-2in, you have to judge how much it will absorb. Stir well, cover and leave it to rest for 10 minutes. Stir in the chopped parsley and serve at once.

Steps:
- Place the stock in a saucepan, bring to the boil, then reduce heat to low and keep stock at a simmer.
- Meanwhile, heat the butter and olive oil in a deep frypan over medium heat, add the onion and cook, stirring, for 1-2 minutes until softened, but not coloured. Stir in the garlic, then add the rice and cook, stirring, for 1 minute to coat the grains. Add the wine and allow the liquid to evaporate. Add the stock, a ladleful at a time, stirring occasionally, allowing each ladleful to be absorbed before adding the next. Continue until you have one ladleful of stock left - this should take about 20 minutes. Add the prawns with the final ladleful of stock and continue to stir for 2-3 minutes until the prawns are cooked through. Stir in the parmesan, then cover and remove from the heat.
- Peel the avocados, dice and toss in the lemon juice. Just before serving, carefully stir the avocado mixture into the risotto. Serve in bowls topped with extra parmesan and chopped chives.

ZERO POINTS VEGGIE SOUP (WEIGHT WATCHER FRIENDLY)
The office I work at is doing our version of the biggest looser. In an effort to still serve soup, and everyone being able to enjoy it, I came up with this simple and easy recipe. It must have been good because 5 minutes after putting out the soup I went to get some for myself ...but it was all gone!

Steps:
- Over medium high heat, in a large pot add the extra virgin olive oil and the onion, celery, garlic, and cabbage.
- Fry for 10-15 minutes or until onions and cabbage have a nice brown color, stirring frequently to make sure you get all the little goodies off the bottom of the pot.
- Add mushrooms and cook for another 10 minutes.
- Season with salt and pepper to your taste.
- Add the frozen vegetables, tomatoes, vegetable stock, bay leaves, thyme, oregano, allspice, and salt and pepper.
- Cook for 45 minutes.
- Remove from heat.
- Add the sugar and vinegar. This does two things; it helps neutralize the gas of the cabbage and also the acid of the tomato.
- Enjoy! On Weight Watchers this is a zero point soup.
