Method

  1. Heat 1 tbsp of oil and 1/2 the butter in a wide, shallow pan. Add the leeks and garlic and cook over a gentle heat for 4-5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add the rice and stir to coat in the oil. Increase the heat a little and pour in the wine. Simmer for 2 minutes.
  2. Add a ladleful of the stock and simmer, stirring occasionally until all the liquid has been absorbed. Continue adding the stock in this way until it has all been used and the rice is tender and creamy.
  3. Season and stir in the tarragon. Remove from the heat and fold the remaining butter and cheese through the risotto. Serve immediately.

    Utterly delicious! I used Bavarian Blue, as I couldn't find gorgonzola, and it worked well. I only needed half of the 900 ml of stock though, which was a bit odd. Maybe due to the particular rice I used? Such a simple dish to make, and I will definitely be cooking it again soon.

    Yum! Delicious, satisfying & I'm loving the use of tarragon. I've tried it a couple of times using any blue cheese on offer to save the pennies. Agree that 900ml is too much stock & wonder if it's a typo - 550ml worked well for me.
