I would suggest going to Main Dishes on this forum, and doing a search for Rissotto as there are quite a few there

I want to do the roasted pumpkin one next but we have risotto very rarely KLC79.  I really enjoyed the Prawn, Pea & Fennel one here although I can't help wondering if there should be some fennel bulb actually used and not just 2 tblspns of the fronds.  I did it as the recipe said though and it is delicious.

We aren't big risotto fans but we do really enjoy the chicken cacciatore risotto from this site.  It is yummy!  :)

I really like the mushroom risotto in the UK TMX book (especially when done with half fresh and half dried mushrooms) but I think my favourite is the Pumpkin & Feta one from here as it is such a great mix of flavours

I just did a search for risotto and was astounded at the number of recipes that came up ... then I remembered a little while ago Brazen set a risotto challenge!  ;D ;D

My all-time favorite is the mushroom risotto, I think it was the very first thing I prepared in the TMX after I got it in November 2009.

I have used various types of mushrooms and the best of the bunch is made with  porcini or cepes.  A local health food store gets fresh ones from a "local" grower and they are excellent, very "meaty" and full of flavor.

We don't eat a lot of risotto, but I do love stinging nettle risotto when I can get them at the markets (or find some growing wild in a friend's garden!).

I made this risotto up, and posted it on R.C.....but don't think I posted it  here   ???

Red Curry Chicken Risotto

1 onion quartered
2 garlic cloves
small handful flat leaf parsley
3 Tbsp. red curry paste
40g olive oil
130g chopped carrot
1 large red capsicum quartered
2 chopped spring onions
600g chicken breast cubed - or could use thigh strips
400g can light organic coconut milk
300g water
1 Tbsp. TM vegetable stock concentrate
300g aborio rice


Place onion, garlic & parsley into TM jug.  Chop for 5 seconds, speed7.

Scrape down jug  and add oil, and red curry paste, and chopped spring onions.  Saute for 3 minutes, 100c, speed 1.

Add in capsicum and carrot, and chop for 3 seconds, speed 7.

Scrape down jug and add in the cubed chicken (or thigh strips), and 100g of the coconut milk (reserve rest in the can).  Cook for 2 minutes, 100c,  :-:  speed 1.

Add in remaining coconut milk, aborio rice, 300g water, TM stock and salt & pepper to taste, then cook for 17 minutes, 100c,  :-:  speed 1.  Cook with the MC cap out, and place the steaming insert basket on top of lid.

I usually mix on  :-:  speed 3 to combine for a couple of seconds, then turn back down to  :-:  speed 1 for the cooking period.

Allow the risotto to rest for 5 minutes before serving.

If you were wanting more heat to the dish, simply add in some finely chopped chilli and saute it in with the curry paste & oil.

Chicken and sundried tomato is great. You pulse the tomatoes with garlic and onion before sauteeing so the flavour spreads throughout the whole dish  ;).
