Instructions:
Instructions: For this you will need ideally a large fryingpan with a lid.

Begin by heating the oil in the pan then soften the onion and pepper in it for 5 minutes.

Next add the garlic and ginger and cook for a few seconds before adding the mushrooms celery and sultanas.

Stir these around and cook for a further 5 minutes; during that time add the spices.

Now stir in the rice turning it around in the mixture to get it nicely coated with oil then pour in 1 pint of boiling water.

Add some salt stir once put the lid on the pan then turn the heat to its lowest possible setting and let everything cook for 40 minutes until the rice is tender and all the liquid has been absorbed.

Halfway through the cooking time sprinkle in the almonds and replace the lid. During the last 10 minutes of cooking check the risotto to make sure that it doesnt stick.

As long as there is still some moisture left all should be well.

Season to taste with salt and pepper and serve the risotto with lemon wedges that have had their edges dipped in paprika.
