Ingredients
| 2 tbsp | olive oil |
|---|---|
| 2 | onions, finely chopped |
| 5 | celery sticks, diced |
| 2 | garlic cloves, crushed |
| 200g (7oz) | small chestnut mushrooms, sliced |
| 275g (10oz) | risotto rice |
| 250ml (9fl oz) | white wine |
| 750ml (1⅓pints) | hot vegetable stock |
| 150g (5oz) | frozen petits pois |
| 115g (4oz) | blue cheese, e.g. Stilton or dolcelatte, coarsely grated |
| 2 tsbp | chopped sage, plus a few extra leaves to garnish |
| A knob of | butter |
Method
Heat the oil in a deep frying pan over a high heat. Add the onions and celery and fry for 4–5 minutes, to soften. Add the garlic and mushrooms and fry for a further 2–3 minutes. Add the rice and stir into the vegetables.
Pour in the wine and let it bubble for 1–2 minutes until reduced. Add a ladleful of the hot stock and continue to add all the stock, a little at a time, until the liquid has absorbed. This will take about 15–20 minutes.
Add the petits pois and cook for a few minutes. Turn off the heat and stir in the cheese and sage. Season with a little salt and plenty of ground black pepper. Leave to stand for 2 minutes until the cheese has melted.
Melt the butter in a small pan over a high heat and fry a few sage leaves until crisp.
Serve the risotto hot in warm bowls with the crispy sage leaves to garnish.
