Ingredients

200g Clonakilty Whitepudding (cut into 6 thick slices)

1 large onion (finely diced)

2 zucchinis (finely diced)

200g seasonal mushrooms (finely diced)

400g Arborio rice

2 tbsp olive oil

1 litre chicken stock

100g grated parmesan

2 cloves garlic (finely diced)

125ml white wine

Salt and pepper

40g butter

Method

1. Soften the diced onion, zucchinis, mushrooms and garlic on a low heat in a non-stick pan with oil for about 4-5 minutes.

2. Cook the Arborio rice in a medium saucepan in water and add mixture with 500ml of chicken stock and white wine.

3. Simmer, stirring regularly until the rice is almost cooked out. As the liquid is absorbed, add another 500ml of chicken stock for extra flavour.

4. Stir in 100g of parmesan and 40g of butter and cook for another 2 minutes.

5. Separately, add oil to a non-stick pan and cook 4-6 thick slices of Clonakilty Whitepudding for 2 to 3 minutes on each side.

6. Either crumble the cooked Clonakilty Whitepudding into the risotto or serve the thick slices on top of the risotto.

7. Season with salt and pepper to serve.
