these days i use around 350g rice, 1000g water and as much pumpkin as i can fit (i've never weighed it) and the rest of the recipe is like yours / baf's. (except the spices)

:D :DThank you. That is the exact recipe I was shown how to make for my demo's. The porchini, if you can get it, really makes a difference, as does the swiss brown mushies (stays a lovely brown colour - doesn't go greyish). Many a time I have had people exclaim that it is the "best" risotto they've ever tasted, including passionate 'traditional' risotto makers ;D ;D. People just can't believe you can have perfect risotto without stirring it constantly. I have made the pumpkin and spinach as a variation for people who don't like mushrooms and it has gone down very well too. A great tradgedy of my life is that none of my kids (3 boys) like risotto - and they are not fussy kids, generally they eat anything. :( :(Me, on the other hand, I love it. Funny though they prefer the pumpkin if they have to have it.

Resurrecting this old thread coz I just made this risotto for a houseful of kids playing Monopoly and they licked the Thermoserver clean. What's even better is that 3 of them said they don't like pumpkin. Ha ha ;D
Thanks for this nice and easy recipe. It's great!
