    Looks interesting. Please clarify how much of the stock is used at each addition.

    From reading the recipe I would gather that you add ~1/3 of the stock at each addition.

    loved this, also tried it with chestnut mushrooms instead of red peppers. Great recipe and the aroma when cooking is fab.

    We loved this! I modified the recipe to give two 'generous' portions i.e. one red onion, one red pepper, I tbsp rosemary and 120g arborio risotto rice. I still used 150ml of white wine but reduced the amount of stock (I used Marigold Swiss Vegetable Boullion) to 700ml.I still used the whole 400g tin of artichoke hearts and two heaped tbsp of parmesan. I didn't have any pine nuts but it was great without them. I will definitely be adding this to my list of favourites.

    This looks and eats very well indeed. One bug-bear of mine is "150ml white wine" as an ingredient ... I find that different white wines work differently with recipes, not all white wines are the same so I prefer a recipe to be a little more specific. I used a Pinot Grigio which worked fine, and drank well with it, but that was more luck than judgement. I'll definitely make this again, but probably drop the artichoke hearts and add mushrooms maybe.
