tonight i made a pea and bacon risotto - it's not bad! i wanted to use proscuitto but coldn't find what i thought we had. so just about 5-6 shortcut pieces of bacon, 1 onion. make the recipe as per baf's recipe.

i added about a cup of baby peas before the 16 min cooking stage but it was too long. i think i should have added them about half way through.

i also added a few olives and when it was all cooked 3 sundried tomatoes cut into strips.

i learned that if using bacon / olives you don't need as much stock concentrate

Hey Cookie

Made this last night and it was delicious!  But I think there might be an instruction line missing?  I almost ended up with a whole garlic clove in mine.  Lucky I realised and was able to fish it out and crush the old fashioned way.

Thanks for the recipe! 

Also, can some of these be moved to the normal recipe section so they're easier to find?

I made Bacon, leek and tomato risotto. I only made enough for the 3 of us, although it may feed 4 small eaters. (we're hungry folks).

Bacon, Leek and Tomato Risotto

3 cups water
3 good teaspoons vegie stock
3 rashers of bacon
1 leek
1 clove garlic
200g arborio rice
1/4 cup white wine (I used verjuice)
125g small cherry tomatoes, halved
45g olive
1/4 cup parmesan

Grate the parmesan for 3 seconds on speed 9.
Chop white part of leek and place in the bowl with the garlic and sliced bacon and oil. 2 minutes, 100^o speed 1.
Add rice and wine. Cook 2 minutes at 100^o reverse speed soft.
Add stock and water, cook for 7 minutes 100^oReverse, speed soft.
Add the halved tomatoes and cook a further 10 minutes as above. Place in thermoserver, stir through the parmesan and let sit for 5 minutes.

sure cathy, you can C&P / quote them just the same as thermomixer does, it doesn't take special mod powers

or alternately, when we're mostly finished with the thread one of us mods can move it to the appropriate recipe board

Oops, sorry about that. Some things you do automatically and forget to write them down when writing the recipe.

No problem, just as a newbie, these things aren't yet instinctual.
