    1 tbsp olive oil
    25g butter
    1 onion, finely chopped

    2. Meanwhile, melt the butter in a saucepan and cook the onion and garlic for 5 minutes until softened. Stir in the rice and sage and cook for 30 seconds. Add the wine, bring to a simmer and cook for 2 minutes.

    3. Add the rice mixture to the ovenproof dish and pour over the hot stock. Bake uncovered for 40-45 minutes until the rice is tender and the stock absorbed. Scatter over the cheese and divide between 4 bowls and finish with a good grinding of black pepper.
