Method

step 1
Dissolve the risotto paste (1 pack) in 800ml of boiling water. Heat a large, lidded, ovenproof casserole dish over a medium-high heat. Add a generous glug of olive oil, followed by the leeks (4). Cook for 10 minutes, until very soft. Tip in the risotto (300 g) and toast for 1 minute, then pour in the stock mix. Mix well.
step 2
Cover the risotto with a lid and pop into the oven for 25-30 minutes, until the rice is cooked through but still has a bit of bite. Stir through the mascarpone (150 g) and half the Stilton (100 g). Season to taste with salt and pepper.
step 3
Serve the risotto in bowls, topped with the remaining Stilton (100 g), a scattering of caramelised pecans (75 g) and a drizzle of lemon-infused olive oil (1 tbsp).
