Creamy Leek Risotto with Rosemary Gremolata
by Tenina Holder
Risotto in less than an hour! Easy enough for weeknight supper; elegant enough to serve guests. The earthy aromatic rosemary pairs well with the mild onion flavour of the leeks. Think rustic, serve it with a lamb roast or baked pumpkin or as pictured with Butternut Pumpkin Puree.
