  5. Increase the heat and add the rice, stir to coat the grains in the oil for a minute or so, then add 2 sprigs of tarragon
  6. Add the wine or vermouth, stir until the liquid has evaporated

  7. Add a ladleful of stock to the pan, reduce the heat to low, and stir until the stock has been absorbed. Continue to add the stock, one ladleful at a time, stirring until it has been absorbed into the rice before adding the next ladleful.

  8. Add the soaked chopped mushrooms. Leave on a low heat for 30 mins

  9. In a separate pan, fry the chanterelles and ceps in 20g of butter and 1tbsp of oil for 5 mins. Season, add the chopped herbs and stir through over a low heat. Keep warm over a low heat

  10. Add the Mustard with Chablis White Wine, Black Truffle and Cep Mushrooms, lemon zest and the final ladleful of stock to the risotto, stir until absorbed
