    Lovely risotto, I added oregano, chilli flakes and ham to the recipe to give it an extra kick. Think it will become a favourite.

    Very nice, however made slightly differently. Used fresh peppers - next time if I have time will roast first but if not worked perfectly fine. Also added garlic when cooking the onion and added some cayenne pepper when added the tomato. Threw in a handful of capers at the end.

    This is really easy to make and very tasty. I have made it a couple of times but have made a few amendments to the recipe: I use fresh peppers, which I just fry with the onion; add a teaspoon of sugar to the chopped tomatoes; and add sundried tomatoes too.

    Enjoyed very much. I softened the peppers with the onion rather than use roasted. I also added some paprika and cayenne pepper as well as capers.

    Really enjoyed this quick and easy midweek supper. i roasted regular peppers first which worked well. i agree that a pinch of chilli would make this even better, just to give a little kick. Really impressive cheap and easy dish though.

    Made this but ended up pretty much turning it into a paella...I added some chicken, prawns, paprika and black olives and it was absolutely delicious! Everyone in the family loved it - definately making it again with the alterations :)
