Thanks! The risotto is indeed homemade. It's ridiculously easy too. Fry some onions in olive oil, then add the arborio rice. Then add vegetable stock bit by bit till the rice is cooked. Get some raw almonds and cashews, roast for about 5-10 minutes. Lob them into the risotto and voila! I used to put feck loads of cheese in risottos, thinking they'd have no flavour otherwise. I did this one last night, in weirdly, I preferred it without the cheese! I guess less is more sometimes

Thanks, I'll definately try that.

I use to use lots of cheese in risotto aswell, until I watched Cook Yourself Thin, and saw how may calories it added!

Scary isn't it. When I think about how many calories I must have been eating before, without even knowing it.... Bonkers!
