Risotto .. I'll tell you what I have got.. help

[BCNS]

Oh I can't think today.. I think I want risotto. this is what I have.. can someone sort me out please.. I don't often cook risotto and when I do it tends to come out a bit bland. .. help please.

risotto rice

garlic
smoked bacon
butternut squash
white wine
mushrooms
peas ( and other veg carrots..broccoli etc)
various herbs and spices
.. pepper salt.
butter..
veg stock

ohhh have onions aswell

fry onions and garlic gently
add rice
make up stock with wine
add previously roasted cubed squash

fry chopped bacon until crispy, chuck in at end. To be really healthy you could add the peas but I think flavour of squash and bacon enough to be delicious

Bob's yer uncle

I like a pea and ham risotto, so would follow WilfSell's instructions but substitute squash for peas.

thankyou.. I'll give that a bash

wilsell.. you are a marvell!!.. It's flipping great!!

I didn't do much that was different than I normally do.. but did get the bacon nice and crispy ( through in some chestnut mushrooms too)..and added the wine to the stock.. instead of wine then stock...

but it has made the word of difference!! thank you thank you!!

WilfSell* ooops
