Preparation

Preheat oven to 375°. Melt 1 tablespoon butter in a 3 to 3½-quart Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add carrots; cook and stir 3 to 4 minutes or until tender. Transfer carrots to a bowl; set aside.

Melt 4 tablespoons butter in same Dutch oven over medium heat. Add leeks; cook 3 to 6 minutes or until softened, stirring occasionally. Add rice; cook and stir 4 to 6 minutes or until rice is golden.

Remove Dutch oven from heat; add wine. Return to heat; cook and stir until wine is absorbed. Stir in vegetable stock and 2 teaspoons dill; bring to a simmer.

Cover and bake 25 to 30 minutes or until rice is al dente and most of stock is absorbed.

Stir remaining 2 tablespoons butter and Parmesan cheese into risotto. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Stir half of carrots into risotto; top with remaining carrots. Garnish with additional dill, if desired.
