   Using a fine cheese grater, grate two thirds of the fresh Truffles into a mixing bowl. Grate the cheese into the same bowl, and add the diced butter and 1tbsp olive oil. Mix gently.

3. 3

   Bring a small saucepan to the boil with the vegetable stock and keep on slow simmer. Meanwhile using a heavy based flat bottomed pan, saute the onion in 1tbsp of olive oil until translucent. Add the rice to the onion and heat through until all grains are hot and coated in oil.

4. 4

   Add 1 cup of wine to the rice and stir until dissolved. Then add 1 cup of hot stock, again stirring until dissolved. Keep adding small quantities of stock until rice is cooked. This will take approx. 15 minutes from adding 1st cup of wine. Rice should be al dente, not too runny, but moist with no excess liquid remaining. Turn off heat and add the diced butter fresh Truffle and parmesan mixture, and quickly beat into the risotto until you get a creamy finish. Leave for 1 minute.

   Plate up the risotto. Shave the remaining fresh Truffles over the individual portions at the table to ensure that you maximise the experience of the fresh Truffle aroma.
