• 2 T butter
• 2 T olive oil
• 4 leeks, thinly sliced
• 3 cloves garlic, crushed
• 2 bay leaves
• 315 g risotto rice
• 6 cups dry white wine

Method

Ingredients

Heat the butter and olive oil in a pan over a medium-low heat and sauté the leeks and garlic until soft, but not caramelised, for 3–4 minutes.

Add the bay leaves and rice and cook for 2 minutes. Keep stirring to coat the rice in butter.

Add the wine and cook, stirring, until absorbed.

Stir in the stock 1 cup at a time, allowing it to absorb completely between each addition. Keep stirring so the rice doesn’t catch.

Stir in the cheese and season to taste.

Pour 1 T balsamic crema onto each plate and top with the risotto. Sprinkle with Parmesan.

Cook's note Serve this risotto Milanese-style on a shallow pool of balsamic crema.
