Casanova's Celery Risotto

The secret to Casanova's wooing power was not his good looks. It was his love of celery. Ok, so maybe a celery grower told us but we've managed to turn a few people on to celery with this lovely summery, herb risotto recipe.

Method

1. Place a large pot over medium heat. Add a splash of olive oil. Once hot, add the onion and gently sauté for 10-15 minutes.
2. Add the risotto rice and let it crackle and pop in the pan for a few minutes. Splash in the wine and let it bubble up until the rice has guzzled it up.
3. Stir in the celery, add a good grinding of pepper and cook for a minute or two before adding your first ladle of stock. Set a timer for 20 minutes and continue to feed the stock to the rice little by little until the timer goes off.
4. Fold in the mascarpone and a good pinch of salt. Add a tiny bit more stock, if needed. You want your risotto to have a nice creamy texture and not be too thick.
5. Fold in half the herbs and half the parmesan. Pile onto plates and finish with remaining herbs and parmesan and a good grinding of pepper.

Love this recipe, although I tend to put in a whole tub of mascarpone. Great served with garlic spinach. I have found it freezes fairly well too
