I need a Vegetarian Maltesian recipe, do you have one?

It can not be a dessert and it has to be able to be done in 22 minutes.I need a Vegetarian Maltesian recipe, do you have one?
This is going to take 45minutes ,so give them a glass of wine before dinner and chit chat for a while..








Veggie Risotto





2 cups chicken-like or veggie stock


4 cups water


1-2 cloves garlic, minced


1 medium onion, diced smallish


1 small bulb fennel, diced smallish


1 1/2 cups arborio rice


3/4 cup dry white wine (optional)


8 oz mushrooms, coarsely chopped


2 tbs chopped fresh oregano


2 tbs chopped fresh sage


salt and pepper to taste





Combine stock and water in a pot and bring to a boil, then turn down to


barely simmering. While it is warming up, chop your veggies. Saute onion,


fennel and garlic using either wine or stock to keep them from sticking,


until softened in a large nonstick skillet over medium low heat. Add rice and


wine. Stir a bit to coat the rice. Once the mixture dries out add 1/2 cup


broth and stir. When the it starts to dry out again add another 1/2 cup of


broth and stir. Keep this pattern up - you don't have to stir constantly, but


you do need to do it about every 1-2 minutes. Keep adding broth as needed to


keep it from sticking. After about 10-15 minutes add the mushrooms and herbs.


Keep stirring and adding stock another 5-10 minutes checking the rice to see


if it is done. If you run out of stock before the rice is done, just add hot


water as needed. Mine usually takes 25-30 minutes.


Season w/ salt an pepper as desired. If you do the dairy thing, top with parmesan cheese.
