Leek Risotto

Leek Risotto


1. Pour the stock or broth into a saucepan and bring to a simmer.

2. Keep liquid hot.

3. In a large, heavy saucepan over low heat, heat oil.

4. Add the leeks and saute about 5 minutes.

5. Add the rice and stir until white spots appear in the center of the grains, about 1 minute.

6. (It is very important to use Arborio rice!) Add the wine and stir until absorbed, about 2 minutes.

7. Add one ladleful of the hot stock or broth, adjust the heat to maintain a gentle simmer, and cook, stirring constantly, until the liquid is absorbed, about 2 minutes.

8. Continue adding the stock or broth, one ladleful at a time and stirring constantly, until the rice is just tender but slightly firm in the center and the mixture is creamy, 20-25 minutes longer.

9. Add the cheese and season with salt and pepper to taste.

10. Stir to mix well.

11. Serve at once.

12. Makes 8 cups.
