Why not try this simple but ever so tasty risotto. It makes the most of seasonal ingredients and produces a comforting light lunch or supper dish

Ingredients

• 2 medium leeks - sliced
• 200g of risotto (arborio) rice
• 175ml of dry white wine
• 1lt of chicken stock (homemade is best)
• handful of tarragon leaves
• salt and ground black pepper
• Parmesan cheese
• Knob of butter

1. Add the knob of butter to a large frying pan. Add the sliced leeks and the tarragon leaves and cook over a gentle heat until the leeks begin to soften - about 10 minutes.

2. Stir in the rice and fry for about a minute until it appears slightly translucent. Next add the wine a let it cook through for a minute. Now add the chicken stock - a couple of ladles at a time - allowing the rice to absorb the liquid before you put the next one in.

3. Continue cooking until the rice is creamy and plump but still has a little bite to it. Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper.

4. Sprinkle with parmesan shavings and serve with a rocket salad.

You can always some pieces of cooked, smoked bacon to the dish to give it even more flavour.
