- Melt a knob of butter in a large pan, add the onion and garlic and cook until soft and translucent.
- Stir in the rice until coated with the butter. Add the white wine and stir until evaporated.
- Add the stock a ladle at a time, until the rice is cooked but still with a little bite (you might not need to use all the stock).
- Stir through the cheese and the lettuce to gently wilt the leaves. Serve with extra cheese if you like.
