Risotto

Heat the oil in a pan and sauté the onion. Add the rice, sauté while stirring until translucent. Pour in the wine and reduce completely. Gradually add the stock, stirring frequently, so that the rice is always just covered with liquid, simmer for about 20 mins. until the rice is creamy and al dente. Stir in the Parmesan and thyme. Mix the Roquefort into the risotto, season. Carve the meat, plate up with the risotto.
