"Made this last night and loved it. I did make some changes: I used arborio rice because that's what I had in the pantry, I used a 300 g pack of frozen seafood so I added 200-250 g more of fresh calamari. I added the seafood together with the peas, so it would cook a bit longer than 2 mins. Also, along with turmeric, I added a good pinch of saffron threads, and when the meal was done, I added juice of half a large lemon just to give it a fresher taste, a squeeze of liquid chili sauce and chopped fresh parsley. It took me 30 mins from start to finish, there is not much work involved, which was fantastic; this is a really good weeknight meal. Plus I packed it in my lunchbox for work."

"Fantastic - I changed a few things as well - along with the chestnut mushrooms I also added 150 g shiitake mushrooms, used 150 ml of veg stock and 150 ml of strong Sauvignon Blanc instead of 300 ml of stock, let it cook for about 10 mins, and added 3 huge tablespoons of creme fraiche. Finally, I stirred in a handful of finely chopped fresh parsley and that was it. Served with mixed green salads and potatoes roasted with red onion, rosemary and a splash of white wine ...it's quickly becoming our favourite!! "
