Method

1.Place stock in medium saucepan; bring to the boil. Reduce heat; simmer, covered.
2.Meanwhile, heat butter and half the olive oil in medium saucepan; cook onion and garlic, stirring, until onion just softens. Add rice; stir rice to coat in onion mixture.

4.Meanwhile, combine mustard and sour cream in small bowl.
5.Heat vegetable oil in large frying pan; cook risotto cakes, uncovered, until browned both sides and heated through.
6.Place each risotto cake on serving plate; top each with 8 rocket leaves, a quarter of the chicken then 2 teaspoons of the mustard mixture; drizzle with remaining olive oil.
