Leek and parmesan risotto

This is the first risotto recipe that I ever made. My avid meat eating friends would scoff at the idea of a risotto without bacon, but the leek and the parmesan offers so much flavour to this dish that you don’t miss it at all. Saying that, this risotto goes very well with leftover chicken.

This recipe is from BBC good food. They say that the key to a good risotto is to use risotto rice, coat the grains before adding liquid, constantly stir the rice (unlike a paella which shouldn’t be stirred) and add half the butter at the end to give it a creamy texture.
