1
In a pot, bring the vegetable broth to a boil. Then generously reduce the heat to keep it hot all through.
2
On medium heat, warm the olive oil in a large saucepan.
3
Add the chopped leeks to the saucepan, cooking and stirring until they soften, approximately 8 minutes.
4
Stir in the minced garlic, letting it cook for an additional 1 minute.
5
Introduce the pre-cooked risotto rice to the pan, giving it a quick stir.
6
Pour into the pan the white wine and sprinkle the black pepper, and let it cook for 2 minutes, or until the wine is mostly absorbed.
7
Using a ladle, add one cup of the hot vegetable broth, stirring occasionally, until it's almost fully absorbed by the rice.
8
Repeat the previous step with the remaining broth, allowing the broth to be thoroughly absorbed before the next addition.
9
Add in the shredded kale, stirring for 2 to 3 minutes until it becomes bright green and wilted.
10
Blend in the ricotta and shredded smoked cheese, continuing to stir until the cheeses are thoroughly melted.
11
Remove from the heat and season with salt to taste. It's now ready to serve.
