Ingredients

300 g risotto rice
150 g young bladder campion shoots
1 onion
40 g butter
100 ml dry white wine
1 litre hot vegetable stock
40 g grated Parmesan
salt and pepper

Method

Rinse the shoots and chop them roughly. Chop the onion.
Soften the onion in half the butter, add the rice and stir for 1 minute until the grains are glossy. Add the wine and let it bubble away.
Add a ladle of stock and stir until it has been absorbed; carry on like this, a ladle at a time. Add the shoots after 10 minutes.
After 18 to 20 minutes the rice is cooked but still has some bite. Take the pan off the heat, stir in the rest of the butter and the cheese, season and leave to rest for 2 minutes with the lid on.

Storing: Risotto is best fresh; leftovers keep for a day in the fridge, or fry them into little cakes the next day.
