Number Of Ingredients 10

1 1/4 liters vegetable stock (made with boiling water)
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 small leeks, halved & sliced
2 garlic cloves, crushed
300 g arborio rice
1/2 cup dry white wine

Steps:

  • Heat the oil in a large heavy-based pan and add the leek, stirring over medium-high heat for 2 minutes, or until soft.
  • Add the garlic, rice and wine, and stir for 1 minute, or until the wine has almost evaporated.
  • Add the stock, a ladle full at a time, stirring with a wooden spoon until until each ladle full is absorbed and the rice is tender and creamy.
