Mature Cheddar Risotto

  • 25g butter
  • 1 chopped red onion
  • 150g risotto rice
  • 750ml chicken stock
  • 1 tsp English mustard
  • 150g extra-mature Cheddar, grated
  • Roasted cherry tomatoes, to serve
  • Balsamic vinegar, to serve
  • Melt the butter in a wide pan and cook the onion for 5 mins to soften. Add the rice and stir for a couple of minutes, then gradually stir in the stock - a little at a time - waiting until it’s absorbed before adding some more. Repeat until the rice is tender and creamy (you might not need all the stock), then season well.
  • Stir the mustard and all the cheese into the rice, then spoon into bowls and top with roasted cherry tomatoes and a drizzle of balsamic vinegar. Delicious!
