I was recently sent an amazing hamper of ingredients by Applewood cheese to create some recipes other spreading or stirring their new spreadable cheese into a recipe.
I chose to make chicken and mushroom risotto with a healthy hint of Applewood smoked cheese. The flavours went really well together and meant I didn't have to fumble to the back of the fridge to find a sad blob of p
Parmesan cheese!

Serves 2
Ingredients
- Knob of butter
- 1 onion – chopped
- 1 garlic clove
- Leftover chicken
- 200g risotto rice
- 1 glass of white wine
- 500ml of chicken of vegetable stock
- 1 tablespoon of Applewood spreadable smoked cheese
- 50g frozen peas
Method
- Heat a knob of butter.
- Fry the mushrooms and put to one side.
- Add a chopped onion and a garlic clove.
- Add the rice and fry for a minute.
- Now add the wine and keep stirring.
- When the wine has all been absorbed into the rice add a ladle of stock and keep stirring.
- Once the stock has been absorbed add another ladle and keep stirring.
- Continue until all the stock is used and the rice is cooked. The rice is done when it is soft but still has a slight bite. If you run out of stock add some boiling water.
- When the rice is cooked add the chicken and peas. When the chicken and peas have heated through take off the heat and add the Applewood cheese and the mushrooms.
