I add left over roast chicken and mushrooms too and stir cream through instead of cream cheese.

I have a wonderful recipe for a chestnut, butternut squash and blue cheese risotto. It's very autumnal and hearty. I also like doing a fish risotto - I just grill some fish and prawns and stir them in a few mins before the end.

I am Italian and stick to our classics when it comes to risotto, I really can't bring myself to put chorizo, butternut squash, feta, beetroots etc. My bad, but this is my comfort food and just can't do it!

Soooo...I cook mostly risotto with:

  • mushroom
  • asparagous
  • seafood
  • peas and ham
  • cheese
  • zaffron

Mine favourite is a risotto based on kedgeree, so smoked haddock and peas etc. With Parmesan and a soft-boiled egg on top, coriander and that Chinese chilli peanut sauce.. mmmm

I also love cauliflower risotto; Jamie Oliver recipe. I think it has anchovies in it.

Jamie Oliver's cauliflower with anchovy pangratto on top... gorgeous. Just remove the anchovy and check wine/bread ingredients for a veggie/vegan version
