Recipe Method
1. Blanch the nettles in boiling water for two minutes, then drain, squeeze dry, and chop finely. Wash and finely chop the other hedgerow herbs. 2. Bring the stock to simmering point on a low heat. In a separate, fairly heavy-based saucepan sweat the very finely chopped onion or shallot in the butter for a few minutes until soft but not coloured. Add the rice and cook for a further few minutes. 3. Add a ladle of the hot stock and allow to come to a gentle simmer. Cook the rice until almost all the liquid has been absorbed, stirring occasionally to make sure the risotto does not catch on the bottom of the pan. 4. Continue to add the liquid by degrees, incorporating the wine towards the end of the cooking, until the liquid is all absorbed, the risotto is creamy, and the individual rice grains tender with just a hint of chalkiness in the middle. 5. Stir the chopped nettles and chervil, chives, rocket and wild garlic leaves
