    I liked it but my kids didn't and most of it went in the bin! Aah well back to the drawing board.

    I tried this in the oven, but gave up as it took so long. I think it's easier and quicker to make this recipe on the hob, as you would a normal risotto. I added loads of bacon and parmesan and it was delicious!

    This is now one our favourite dinners, so easy to make. I definitley think it only serves 2 hungry adults, three as a light meal or an accompaniment. I have also made a chicken version with leeks and mushrooms and then i added frozen peas for the last 5 mins of cooking. I too have found that it takes more like 25 - 30 mins in the oven.

    I love this recipe. I follow the recipe exactly and think it is just as succesasful as the many stove top risottos I've tried. We are a family of two greedy adults a 17 year old giant and a 15 year old picky girl and we all love it but I would double up the quantities if not having with garlic bread or as a side. That does leave enough for me to take to wor the next day for lunch though. Delicious!!!
