step 1
Heat a large saucepan over a medium heat. Add a generous glug of olive oil and tip in the diced onion (1). Add a pinch of salt and cook for 7 minutes, until translucent.
step 2
Stir in the carnaroli rice (150 g) and toast for 2 minutes, stirring occasionally.
step 3
Meanwhile, add the white wine flavour pot (1) and chicken stock (1/2) to a jug and top up with 500ml of boiling water. Add a splash of the stock to the pan and cook until absorbed.
step 4
Gradually add the remaining stock, bit by bit, stirring regularly and allowing the liquid to absorb between each addition. Continue for about 25 minutes, or until the rice is tender but still has a bit of bite.
step 5
Add in an additional splash of water, then stir in the mascarpone (2 tbsp) and 2 tsp of ground black pepper. Remove from the heat and stir through the parmesan (75 g) and pecorino (75 g) until melted. Season to taste with salt if necessary.
step 6
Serve in bowls, drizzled with a little olive oil, an extra crack of black pepper and lemon wedges (1).
