This recipe was sent by Caroline of Good Website, makers of high quality oils, dressings, and mayo in the UK. All of their products are made from pure cold-pressed hemp seed oil.

I have added alternate names where relevant for the ingredients.

Leek, Savoy Cabbage and Walnut Risotto

- 2 leeks, chopped
- ½ savoy cabbage, chopped
- 1 onion, finely chopped
- 1 clove garlic, finely chopped
- 100g Walnut halves
- 400g Risotto rice [a scant lb or 1 3/4 cups]
- 1 litre veg stock [roughly 1 quart or 4 cups]
- 4 tablespoons Good Oil (such as UK made hempseed oil - www.goodwebsite.co.uk)
- 1 glass white wine

In a deep, wide pan over a low heat pour in 2 tablespoons of oil and add the onion, garlic and leeks. Sweat gently without colouring for five minutes.

Make up the vegetable stock and keep it in a covered pan over a low heat. Keeping the stock warm is one of the crucial factors in making a good risotto. Add the rice to the softened vegetables, combine well then pour in the wine. Let the wine be absorbed by the rice then start adding the stock a ladleful at a time, stirring and letting the rice absorb the stock. The heat should be such that mixture is bubbling gently. When you add the last of the stock also add the cabbage.

Stir well adding 2 more tablespoons of oil before serving.
