Ingredients

  • 300g leeks
  • 1 x 400g can chopped tomatoes
  • 200g risotto rice
  • 600ml chicken stock
  • 60ml white wine
  • 250g onions
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 25g reduced fat butter
  • 10g Parmesan cheese, grated

Method

  1. Heat half the oil in a large saucepan and fry the onions for 10 minutes until softened. Add the rice and fry for a further 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  2. Add the wine and boild for a couple of minutes, then add the stock a ladle at a time, cooking until most of the liquid has been absorbed before adding the next. The idea is to get a creamy consistency. it should take around 20 minutes. Once tender remove from the heat.
  3. Heat the remaining oil in a frying pan and gently fry the chopped leeks for around 10 minutes. Add the chopped tomatoes and flavour with freshly ground black pepper.
  4. Heat through and stir into the rice with the butter and Parmesan until well blended and creamy.
