Leek Risotto

Creamy italian rice dish that is served as a main course. This is a reduced fat version. I have reduced the amount of oil and cheese used, but you can also sprinkle parmesan over the top once it's served. We make this at least one a week. It's wonderful!!

Steps

Pour the stock or broth into a saucepan and bring to a simmer.
Keep liquid hot.
In a large , heavy saucepan over low heat , heat oil.
Add the leeks and saute about 5 minutes.
Add the rice and stir until white spots appear in the center of the grains , about 1 minute.
Add the wine and stir until absorbed , about 2 minutes.
Add one ladleful of the hot stock or broth , adjust the heat to maintain a gentle simmer , and cook , stirring constantly , until the liquid is absorbed , about 2 minutes.
Continue adding the stock or broth , one ladleful at a time and stirring constantly , until the rice is just tender but slightly firm in the center and the mixture is creamy , 20-25 minutes longer.
Add the cheese and season with salt and pepper to taste.
Stir to mix well.
Serve at once.
Makes 8 cups.
