Method

  1. Heat the oil and butter in a large deep frying pan. Add the onion and cook gently for 5 minutes until softened. Stir in the mushrooms and garlic and cook gently for 2-3 minutes.
  2. Stir in the rice to coat with the onion and mushroom mixture. Pour in the wine and cook over a moderate heat for about 3 minutes, stirring from time to time, until the wine is absorbed.
  3. Reduce to a gentle heat. Add the tomatoes and 125ml/ 4fl oz of the stock and cook for about 5 minutes until the liquid is absorbed. Pour in a further 125ml/4fl oz stock and continue cooking until absorbed. Repeat with the remaining stock, until it is all absorbed and the rice is creamy and tender.
  4. Stir in the parsley and half the parmesan. Season to taste. Scatter the spinach over the risotto. Cover and cook gently for 4-5 minutes until the spinach has just wilted. Serve immediately sprinkled with the remaining parmesan.

    Today I made risotto for the first time ever by following this recipe. I left out the sun dried tomatoes and the Parmesan but threw in some butternut squash just because that's what I had lying around. So easy and so delicious!

    Yummy!! really tasty and so simple to make (ive never cooked a risotto before) I made it for my partner our 2 kids and my mum and everyone enjoyed, this will definatly be made again : ) I did have to alter the recipe slightly acording to what i had in the cupboards e.g instead of veg stock i used chicken and i left out the spinach and used button mushrooms instead of chestnut, i also added smoked bacon. Only down side was that there was very little of it!!! next time i will need to atleast double up the quantities.

    This is absolutely lovely - tastes great. I decanted mine to the slow cooker (everything except for the toms, spinach and parmesan) for 1.5 hrs - just fried off the onion / mushrooms placed them in the croc-pot, stirred in the rice / stock and wine and put the lid on - on high setting. I then stirred in the last ingreds for the last 1/2 to 3/4 hr - so in total I made this risotto in a couple of hours 'hands-free' and could attend to my guests with ease. The texture was wonderful - no constant stirring with exactly the same results. Great.
