Risotto with Leak, Carrots and goat cheese

This weekend I have been preparing old recipes but combine with different ingredients. On friday I made some couscous with paprika's. Yesterday I prepared a risotto, just with the ingredients I found in my refrigerator, simple, healthy, delicious.

For this risotto the ingredients you need for 2 adults and 1 child are:

  • 1 leak in small rings
  • 2 medium carrots in small dices
  • 4 garlic cloves (we love garlic)
  • 250 gr. risotto rice
  • 1 liter vegetable stock (bouillon) 
  • 1 glass white wine
  • Some dried thyme
  • 100 gr. goat cheese with honey
  • Zest of half lemon
  • Tomatoes

In a pan with some butter and olive oil bake the leak a few minutes, then add the garlic, carrots and some of the thyme, cook for about 10 minutes, add the risotto, scoop well, after 1 or 2 minutes will start getting glaze then blush with the white wine. Let it cook until all the wine is gone, then add slowly the bouillon, in soup spoon at the time. Until the bouillon is finished and the rice is ready.

Scoop 3/4 of the goat cheese, mix all well, divide into 3 plates, add some more of the dried thyme, a bit of the lemon zest and the rest of the cheese.

Serve with some roasted tomatoes (you can grill them in a 200 degrees preheated oven, sprinkle with some salt, pepper and olive oil, for about 15 minutes) or with some salad, of course some bread and a good white wine.
