We are having butternut squash tonight but sometimes I do a mushroom or spinach.

Butternut squash

Nigella has a fantastic lemon risotto recipe. Pops up quickly on google.

basic risotto with just butter + parmesan is good

onion, carrot + peas/broad beans. - fry off the onions +carrots and cook with rice and add frozen veg when rice is just off being cooked

mushrooms

spinach

squash (best to roast it)

Ok so far I fancy spinach and courgettes, could I add some mozzarella to give it a bit of protein? Or just stick with parmesan?

we do an ace one with peas, lemon and smoked salmon fillet based on a Jamie recipe

remember the glass of vermouth at the beginning - makes a big diff

pumpkin and courgette with parmesan
yummmmmeeee

My favourite is with asparagus and/or spinach with parmesan. Our son loves it with mushrooms (and without the parmesan!).

leek and green pepper is our favourite

fennel and beetroot
mushrooms
asparagus and peas
apple (for a sweet one)

I'm doing smoked haddock and spring onion risotto tonight- yummy!

Spinach, peas and fresh mint - cook (or steam) together and blend before adding to the rice. Lovely fresh taste and a delightful bright green! Serve with lashings of armesan.

Lemon and rocket really scrummy.

Borlotti beans and rosemary.

Roasted peppers.

Have a sausage and radicchio, red wine risotto recipe, you could substitute with courgette or mushroom.

we had squash and nutmeg a la Locatelli last night, was delicious

Am so pleased at these ideas - thanks Chipmunk! Was just thinking about going shopping and was irritated as we're trying to meal plan better, and have now realised we have all the ingredients for a lovely spinach and courgette risotto. I even have loads of leeks to toss in too!

I like to use artichoke hearts (out of a jar) and lots of parmesan.

tuna

or butternut squash is yummy

Spinach and feta is one of my fave combos.
Also asparagus and lemon
Parmesan and leek

Leeks. Best risotto ever. Mixes well with mushrooms, but is perfect on its own.

Butternut squash. Roast it first then mash up and add for last five mins of cooking.
