Preparation

  1. Finely chop the onions and cook gently in the oil until soft but not coloured.

  2. Add the rice and let it sweat gently for 1 minute.

  4. Cook the risotto on a low heat for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally.

  5. Add the mascarpone and some lavender blossoms. Add a little more vegetable stock, depending on the consistency.

  6. Chop the apricots into small pieces and add them to the risotto just before serving.
