Method

  1. Soften the onion in butter, then stir in the rice with a splash of white wine. Once the wine has evaporated, gradually ladle in the hot stock, stirring between each addition, until the rice is tender.
  2. Stir in the chopped watercress and goat's cheese, a good knob of butter and some seasoning and leave to sit for a minute before serving.

    Beautifully creamy and tasty. I usually shave parmesan onto a risotto but didn't do so this time - the goat's cheese flavour would have been overwhelmed. Place the goat's cheese in the risotto in small pieces to help it melt and place a lid on during the standing time.
