step 1
Melt a knob of butter in a large pan, add the onion and garlic and cook until soft and translucent.

Stir in the rice until coated with the butter. Add the white wine and stir until evaporated.
step 3
Add the stock a ladle at a time, until the rice is cooked but still with a little bite (you might not need to use all the stock).
step 4
Stir through the cheese and the lettuce to gently wilt the leaves. Serve with extra cheese if you like.
