Risotto and whisky, really? Most people would think that whisky comes after the meal, but actually a heart warming whisky can be a fine accompaniment to a creamy bowl of risotto.

For 4 serves, you will need:

• 4 x woodland sausages, sliced
• 2 Tbsp butter
• 1 leek, sliced
• 2 cloves garlic, crushed
• 1 cup Arborio rice
• 4 cups chicken stock
• 1 cup grated parmesan
• 2 Tbsp chopped parsley

To make:

1. Fry the sausages in a pan until golden.
2. In a large pot warn the butter. Add the leek and garlic cooking for 5 minutes to soften. Add the rice cooking for 2 minutes. Pour in the stock and stir occasionally for 25 minutes until the rice is cooked.
3. Stir through the parmesan and sliced sausages heating through.
4. Serve hot with a sprinkle of parsley.
