  • 200g Grated Klein River Gruberg Mature Cheese

  • 1/2 an Onion

Method

  • Sweat the onions in a sauce pan with 1/3 of the butter on medium heat until transparent
  • Crush or grind you pepper corns (using freshly crushed peppercorns will enhance the taste)
  • Add your samp to the transparent onions and start mixing together
  • Add enough chicken stock until all the samp is covered and allow the mixture to slowly simmer while continuously stirring
  • Add your salt and pepper once the samp is on the verge of being al dente.
  • If the consistency of the samp is still too hard add more stock and continue stirring
  • Add the remaining butter and freshly chopped parsley into the center of the mixture and stir well
  • Gradually add your grated cheese, do not add all at once, you want the cheese to blend and melt evenly into the risotto

  • Allow to rest for 2 minutes and then plate
  • After plating add a sprinkle of lemon zest and fresh parsley
  • Serve
