    ThermoFun - Risotto Variation Ideas

    RisottoVariationIdeas1

    On my ThermoFun facebook page I asked the question of:

    "The Mushroom Risotto in the Every Day Cookbook is a good basic recipe which can then be added to (with or without the mushrooms) – so what’s your favourite flavour combinations for risotto?"

    I received many ideas to share with you!  :)

    Bronwyn: pumpkin, spinach, pine nut and feta
    Mandy: garlic and pumpkin risotto is sooo good
    Debbie: add chorizo and semi dried tomato yummo!
    Nicole: garlic prawn risotto!
    Rochelle: pumpkin, spinach, pine nuts and Parmesan. Or tomato, zucchini where you add a can of crushed tomatoes and the whole thing is an orange-red colour!
    Amber: lemon risotto goes nicely with fish
    Nicole: mushroom and bacon - yum!!
    Leanne: pea, pumpkin, mint & prawn
    Deborah: bacon, chicken and semi-dried tomatoes!
    Gina: chicken, bacon and broccoli
    LP: apricot chicken, mmmmm
    Katie: pumpkin and spinach
    Melissa: use seafood marinara mix instead of mushrooms, I steam the mix on top while the risotto cooks
    Meredith: asparagus, snow peas and corn
    Anne-Maree: creamy garlic prawns
    Cynthia: chicken, asparagus and feta
    Jessica: basil, tomatoes, salami & cream. My fav!
    Debra: pumpkin, chicken and green peas
    Lynda: pumpkin & baby tomatoes. Roast in the oven with a drizzle of maple syrup then stir through the risotto just before serving with Parmesan shavings - yummiest ever
    Cally: ham chopped up in cm cubes and roasted capsicum. Soo yummy
    Amanda: add sundried tomatoes and use truffle flavoured oil. Yummy
    Nicky: coriander pesto risotto
    Kim: salmon, asparagus and roasted cherry tomato! Yummy
    Terri: prawn and spinach risotto
    Kristie: chorizo sausage and sundried tomato and lots of Parmesan mmmm
    Gail: chicken and bacon or stir tinned salmon through plain risotto
    Cath: apricot chicken risotto from EDC, yummy!
    Lyndsey: bacon, tomato and spring onion!
    Michelle: add a breast of diced chicken at the last 6 minutes... Big hit!
    Sam: chicken and chorizo
    Helena: tin of diced tomatoes, spinach, frozen mixed vege and bacon
    Donna: chicken and veg or asparagus and salmon
