Ingredients

1.2 litres hot chicken stock

1 medium leek, trimmed and chopped

15g butter

1 tbsp olive oil

1 garlic clove, crushed

250g mushrooms, sliced

350g Asda Arborio Risotto Rice

150ml white wine (optional)

200g frozen peas

125g Stilton, crumbled

Method

1
Heat the stock in a pan until simmering. Keep over a very low heat, so that it's always hot when you add it to the rice.
2
Cook the leek in the butter and oil over a medium heat, stirring often, until soft but not coloured. Add the garlic and mushrooms, stirring frequently until the mushrooms start to shrink.
3
Add the rice and stir to coat all the grains. Cook over a low heat for 1 minute, then pour in the wine, if using, and simmer until it's absorbed.
4
Add the stock, a ladleful at a time, stirring often, allowing the stock to absorb before adding the next one.
5
After 15 minutes add the frozen peas. Heat until simmering again and cook until the rice is tender, adding more stock when necessary.
6
Remove from the heat and stir in the Stilton. Season with pepper and serve.
