Salt and pepper

2 heaped Tbs wholegrain mustard

1 Tbs Huletts castor sugar

 

Preheat oven to 180C

Heat 1 Tbs olive oil in a pan, then add the onion and garlic, then sauté until onions are soft.

Stir in the sage and rice, then add the wine and stock and leave to cook until the rice is tender.

Remove from the heat and add cranberries, then add the feta and season to taste.
