    Lovely recipe - I added 6 Kaffir Lime Leaves - dried - and it gave the risotto a tangy Thai-style flavour. Will definitely do it again.

    A great dish my husband asked for seconds! Really quick and easy although I also needed to cook it for longer than 18 minutes. Will try it again will alternative ingrediants!

    Really nice. I would definitely make this again. It did take quite a bit longer than 18 minutes in the oven though.

    Delicious! I used cubes of pancetta instead of bacon and found it take around 25 mins rather than the suggested 18 mins. Very, very easy to make.

    This was nice the first time I made it. However today I didn't have any tomatoes and only had a couple of bacon rashers so I substituted a red pepper and some chorizo. It turned out even better than the first time! Definately one for the binder and so quick and easy.

    Just made this for tea and loved it! I wasn't sure I could fry in the casserole dish I was using so I stir fried chicken/salami/onion and courgette in a small pan then added to the rice/stock/wine and chucked in a cup of frozen peas and sweetcorn. Cooked for 40 mins as the casserole dish was cold when I put it all in and worked perfectly. Very easy, lovely and creamy - would make 2/3 of the recipe amount next time though as this was too much for 2 with all the extra bits I threw in. Great recipe, thanks!

    Excellent recipe, very easy to make and full of flavour. I added one chopped chicken breast and a few chopped mushrooms and the whole family absolutely adored it! Highly recommended.

    This recipe is so simple to make but results in such a tasty dish enjoyed immensely by the whole family. I added one chopped up chicken breast and a handful of chopped mushrooms and the dish was so good. Highly recommended!!!

    i loved how easy this recipe was, I can't usually be bothered with the laborious stirring involved to make risotto so this was excellent, and I can see myself using this recipe as a base for different flavours.

    This is one of our favourites! I tend to stir in a bag of baby spinach leaves at the end too. Above comments are right about the portion size - we scoff the lot between 2 adults and one child. Mind you, it is very morish...

    Delicious and so simple! I added frozen peas as suggested by another review. I left it in the oven for about half an hour and it was perfect. I would say this serves 3 adults.

    Cooked this for the first time tonight and it was a great success. Definatley needs 30 mins in the oven. Can't wait to try it again with some added extras such as peas or chicken. My husband and I ate the lot even though it said it would serve four! Oh well - diet can start next week!!
