Instructions
- Heat 1 tablespoon Olive oil and 1 tablespoon Butter over a low heat.
- Add 3 Shallots and 2 Garlic cloves.
- Add 1 Leek and cook for 5 minutes.
- Add 150 g Risotto (arborio) rice and mix well. Cook for a further 1 minute.
- Add 125 ml White wine and a small amount of the 700 ml Vegetable stock. Simmer until the liquid has reduced.
- Continue simmering for 20 minutes, adding a little more stock each time the liquid has reduced.
- Once all the liquid has gone, add 20 g Parmesan and stir it in until it has melted.
Notes
- You can use any cold leftovers of leek risotto to make arancini.
- For even more creaminess in this risotto, add the rind of the Parmesan to the pan and take out just before serving.
- Don't skip frying the rice before adding the stock, as this is important for the final consistency of the dish.
- For some extra freshness, add a squeeze of lemon juice to the risotto.
- You could swap the arborio rice for brown rice for extra nutrition, however it would change the cooking time.
- Risotto rice should still have a bit of bite to it and be al dente. If it is mushy, then it is overcooked.
