Seafood Risotto

[pumpkin pie]

I made this tonight, adapted from a Weight Watchers recipe, to do in the TMX. It was really nice. I haven't posted a recipe before so hope I do everything right.
For any weight watcher it has 9 pro points value per serve and serves 6
o. oil
200 g scallops
600g green prawns shelled
150g squid rings
250g ling fillet (or other firm fist) cut into 3cm pieces
1 med onion cut into 1/4
2 cloves garlic
1 1/2 c Arborio rice  dry
1/2 c white wine
3 veg stock cubes into 3 cups boiling water
400g tin canned tomato in juice
1/2 cup fresh flat leaf parsley.
Gently fry seafood in non stick frypan and put into thermo-server when cooked ( I guess you could steam this in varoma whilst risotto is cooking but I liked the taste of gently frying)
Into  put onion, garlic and parsley chop 2-3 sec on speed 6-7
Add 1/2 tbsp. o.oil and sauté 2min 100c speed 1 with mc off
Insert butterfly, add rice and wine into TM bowl and sauté 2min 100c     
Add stock, tomatoes and cook 16-17 min on 100c     
Season with salt and pepper and put into thermo-server with seafood and allow to rest of at least 5 min before serving.

Thanks for your first recipe PP, it sounds very nice.

It certainly does sound nice. Thanks.

I like the sound of this - will give it a go soon.  Well done for your first recipe.  Not quite game to post one myself (although I do seem to trawl through the Forum and use other peoples ideas).  Saves on brain space for me.

Deniser, it's not as hard as you think once you give it a go (posting a recipe).  Putting a picture on though seems a bit daunting to me as I don't have a good camera, however will give it a go one day, if I can get some instructions on how to do it, I'm sure someone has probably asked that question before, and the answer is here somewhere in the many pages of information. I can spend hours looking through this site and get some great ideas.   I love some of the pics people post of their meals, they look amazing.

PP, I don't know if the comments and instructions on here will be of help - they are pretty old but a lot of us had trouble in the early days and there may be easier ways now. 

Simply though, just download the photos from your camera onto your pc.  They will be too big to post on the forum so read the resizing directions in the above link.

Others put up bigger (but not too big) photos, I don't know how they do that.

Have a go and ask more questions if you get to a certain stage and cannot work out what to do next.  Someone will come to your aid.

PP if you have an iPad it is very easy. In fact so easy that even I can do it.

Thanks Judydawn and cookie1 will give that a look and try when I cook something I think will look good posted as a pic.  I knew someone would be able to help, this is such a good forum.

I would have to agree with the end of your comment.
