Smoked Gouda & Sage Risotto

To prepare this Smoked Gouda and Sage Risotto recipe, start by smoking the cheese. Smoke Gouda for 1-2 hours, depending on the degree of smokiness you’re going for (smoke more than you need for this recipe, you’ll want to nibble on it while you cook!)

200 g Arborio rice

½ medium sized onion, chopped

4 cloves garlic, minced

1 tbsp olive oil

2 tbsp butter

175 ml dry white wine

6-10 sage leaves, chopped

Heat the vegetable stock in a small pot and keep warm

In a shallow and wide pan/pot, heat olive oil
