  Loved it ! Filling and tasty and much faster to cook than I initially thought. Used extra mature cheddar instead of parmesan and worked well.

  This was a nice risotto - the combination of leeks and bacon worked well. I used twice as much bacon, substituted one of the leeks with an onion, and added garlic, for extra flavour.

  Cooked this as per the recipe the first time and was not very exciting so I made a few changes. I combined the original recipe with the make it veggie option but replaced the bacon with some leftover pancetta I had from Christmas. As it was christmas, I also wrapped a chicken breast in a couple of slices of the pancetta and cooked in the oven while the risotto was cooking and served it on top of the risotto. Delicious!

  This is gorgeous! I combine the veggie option with the main recipe adding the red peppers with the leeks (or onions if you have a fussy daughter..) and adding the peas when the risotto is almost ready. Gives the whole thing a sweeter boost AND gets more vegetables into the kids. I like to think it is a cheap family meal too. In fact, I quite fancy it for dinner tonight - mmmm!
