  3. Turn up the heat to high, add the wine and reduce until all the liquid has gone. Then turn the heat back down to medium / low.

  4. Gradually add the stock, stirring regularly, one ladle full at a time, for 20 minutes, until the rice is soft, with just a bite to it (you might not need all of the stock).

  5. Once cooked, remove from the heat, add the lemon zest, a squeeze of lemon juice, a handful of Parmesan cheese and a small knob of butter. Mix everything and pop a lid on the pot.
