  A very easy and tasty dish to make if you're late home from work and want something simple.

  I wouldn't call it "quick" as it took longer than the time stated which i suspected. An extra 8 mins for the rice to cook. However i did like the fact that all i had to do was put it in the microwave and just go back to it when it pinged!. I did saute my onions first and also added some bacon lardons. I used feta cheese (and dried herbs) which i just crumbled on top when serving. It was tasty & i would make it again.

  This was so simple to make and incredibly tasty, so good I didn't bother adding either the mozzarella or extra butter ( so low fat too!), I found the timing spot on too, I will definitely be making this often.

  This recipe is superb! I adore risotto, but don't always have the time to stand there stirring it... this is quick, simple and absolutely delicious and I have cooked it several times. Highly recommended!

  Can't believe how well this dish turned out! I had to add another 5 minutes to the cooking time for my 800w microwave and I substituted the cherry tomatoes with 150g of ramiro peppers. Fantastic!!

  Nice flavours but to be honest found using the microwave more of a faff than the other risottos I've made. Try the smoked salmon and lemon risotto for flavour or the oven baked risotto for ease. I preferred both.

  Quick- hmm not really. Easy as pie though, just bung it in and get on with other things. Mine turned out beautifully, convenience food at its best!

  Not a lover of microwave cooking, I do this in a pan on the stove top. It always goes down with my teenage sons and can be varied in loads of ways. This will feature time and time again in my house.

  Took 6 mins longer in my microwave but well worth the wait. Enjoyed it and sure it will become a mid-week favourite.
