Tips/Hints:
This risotto also tastes good with chicken. Just cook one chicken breast fillet, shred it and mix through the risotto before serving. But it's a great vegetarian dish without it.

Sounds & looks good Foodie Mum - I like recipes using things I usually have on hand.

Thanks for your recipe: sounds like a risotto packed with flavour ! Since I've got all the ingredients it will be perfect for our dinner tonight ;)

And perfect it was with extra sprigs of rosemary (so fragrant at the moment), a little bit more white wine (just a bit :)) and extra tomatoes instead of tomato paste. Thanks again Foodie Mum!

I'm glad you liked it Carine! I'll have to try it with the extra rosemary and tomatoes. Extra wine is always good too :D
