Preparation
Warm the oil over a medium heat and stir in leek, onion and garlic until soft and tender.
Add the risotto rice and mix in vegetables stirring for another 1 minute. Add white wine and reduce.
Fold through peas and then gradually pour in a little hot stock at a time until the rice is cooked, but still has a slight crunch in the centre.
Finish risotto stirring in parsley, Parmesan and a squeeze of lemon. Season to taste.
