Beef Risotto recipe anyone?

[BexieID]

Trying out new ideas for meals for Tom and thought i'd try a risotto.

Anyone?

When I make a risotto, I just fry up chopped onion, then if using uncooked meat brown the meat, add the risotto rice, swish around in the pan for a while, then add the stock. I know purists would say add a little stock at a time and wait for each bit to be absorbed, but I can't ever be bothered with that. I just add all the stock and leave it to it. Sometimes add mushrooms/peppers/anything I've got to hand reall. Sorry this isn't a proper recipe, but it's how I do it. Your rice packet should tell you how much stock you need.

(hopefully this will get you a "proper" recipe off someone else!)

Thanks. I know my mum used to make it, so i'll ask her when I next speak to her.

beef? sounds not very nice

mine love chicken risotto though

Yeah, i'd do chicken, but daddy made him some chicken dinners at the weekend, so don't want him getting bored with chicken. Maybe we'll do him some steak again and do a chicken risotto the next time we do a chicken batch for him.

Do you mean a beef pilaf? Beef risotto is a bit of a wierd premise..

I'm sure we've had a beef risotto in a packet before, the Vesta one. Whats a beef pilaf?

I made a beef one, Tom ate it and I had some as well. Probably better with chicken or fish, but it was alright. I used butter rather than stock and used shallots (little buggers), peppers, plum tomatoes, mushrooms and aubergine.
