This is a really great risotto - low calorie and meat free! Even my 22 year old meat eating son loved this one! :)
Make sure you do add the rocket to it at the end as to me this really sets it off, along with the cheesy crumbs too!
This recipe was inspired from the Healthy Food Guide converted and tweaked to be made in the Thermomix.

I didn't have a slice of bread for the crumbs, so just sprinkled parmesan and chilli flakes.
