I am a new thermomix owner only had it for two weeks. I just cooked this for dinner and it was lovely...I have been looking for a different risotto and this one is very nice...I did add some veggies to it though and just let it sit to cook them through thank  you for the lovely recipe

I am no good with photos...here is my recipe from last night.  I reckon this recipe would be very forgiving - I just threw things in and weighed as I went.  Turned out pretty good.

Cacciatore Chicken Risotto

1 onion
1 or 2 cloves garlic
parsley/herbs of choice
100 - 200g bacon
500g chicken, diced (or "dice" it yourself in the TMX prior to step 1)
300g rice
675g liquid chicken stock (or water with your own homemade stock)
tin crushed tomatoes
splash of wine (red or white) - optional
1 Tablespoon tomato paste (optional)
parmesan cheese to serve

* Blitz garlic, onion and herbs, 5 sec, speed 5.
* Add bacon. 3 sec, speed 4 (or until chopped to liking)
* Cook 3 mins, 100 deg,  speed 1.
* Add butterfly.
* Add in all except chicken and cheese.  Cook 10 mins, 100 deg,  speed 1
* Add chicken.  Cook 10-13 mins, 100 deg,  speed 1 (check after 10mins - want to see the liquid absorbed)
* Rest in thermoserver 5 mins and serve sprinkled with cheese, salt and pepper if desired.
