At the moment, like I mentioned, we've got all those gorgeous greens that are growing.

You know, we've got the spinach and the kale and the chard and stuff.

And I love making, you know, maybe a spring green or summer green risotto where you can put all those through the rice or you can blend some up with peas.

Courgette is fabulous as well.

And actually, I did risotto three ways for my cookbook, but it got pulled, not because it was bad.

It was just there wasn't space for it.

So my base will always be the same for risotto.

Fry the rice in some olive oil and butter.

So the rice kind of gets coated with that gorgeous, you know, the lovely fats of whether you're doing olive oil or butter or a bit of both.

And then a bit of seasoning.

And then add stock.

So you add stock slowly and with heat.

So the stock should be hot and then your pan should be hot.

So a ladle every time.

And then the rice absorbs that ladle each time.

And that's important.

It is a dish that you stand over.

So what I would do is that...

plain rice, let's just say, with stock, maybe a bit of white wine and salt and pepper.

And there's usually always Parmesan cheese in my risotto is the base.
