Italian lamb with potato risotto

I got the idea for the potato risotto from one of my judges at the Mutti Chef of the year competition, Gabriella Margiotta.
At the time I didn’t know that she was a contestant in this year’s BBC’s Masterchef the professionals.
One of the dishes that she cooked on the show was a beautiful potato risotto, I’m not going to lie, but I’d never even heard of potato risotto until that moment.
I’ve adapted the dish slightly to accommodate my Italian lamb as I didn’t want too much wet ingredients on the final plate.
So I tried to dry up the risotto (I’m still calling it a risotto though haha) so that it could sit proudly next to the lamb.
