Leek and Camembert Risotto
Ingredients
(Serves 4)
50g butter
2 leeks
2 cloves garlic
1 tsp dried oregano
225g arborio rice
900ml chicken stock
225g Camembert de Normandie AOC
How to make it
This camembert Risotto is a rich and comforting take on an Italian classic with gentle leeks and creamy cheese.
Melt the butter in a pan and gently fry the sliced leeks and garlic until soft. Stir in the oregano and rice and mix well together. Add, one ladleful at a time, the stock until absorbed into the rice.
Stir occasionally until the moisture is completely soaked up (about 20 mins), or until the rice still has a bite to it. Break up the Camembert into chunks and stir in just before serving and season.
To make it a bigger meal you could serve the camembert Risotto with a grilled shrimp or seared scallops.
