EE risotto recipes anyone?

[LaurelAmy]

Hi everyone, I have some risotto rice and would love to try a risotto, anyone got a good recipe?

 

[Circes]

Have you tried doing a search? There are lots of risotto recipes on here so I'm sure you'll find one that catches your eye

Very basic one: soften a finely chopped onion in your pan, add your rice, pour in some stock to cover and simmer. Add more stock as it is absorbed. Keep on adding and stirring and when you're adding the last bit, chuck in what you want - cooked chicken, sliced mushrooms, frozen veg - and keep simmering slowly til all stock is absorbed and veg is warm through. Texture should be creamy. If you like it more al dente then cook it to how you like it! season to taste. The packet should give you quantities of rice and water or stock to use.

Butternut squash is a good one - dice the squash and roast until tender.

Here are a few:

Roasted Butternut Squash Risotto | Slimming Eats - Slimming World Recipes
wild mushroom risotto | Slimming Eats - Slimming World Recipes
Turkey risotto - Recipes - Slimming World
Slimming World Recipes: Slimming World - Tomato and Basil Risotto

They can all be made Slimming World friendly/free by cutting out the fat, so find a recipe you like and it'll be very easy to alter.

Hope that helps!

Yes, this is my favourite! Stir in some fresh spinach at the end too, and a bit of parmesan if you fancy spending a healthy extra. Yums.

My favourite risotto is with prawn and peas. Another one that's free on EE.
