Okay, so it's our school concert night and I trialled this recipe as a quick nutritious meal--considered takeaway, but figured out that it would take longer to go get it than cook this dish . . . and besides IT WAS ON MY MENU PLAN!! 

I was naughty . . . I doubled the recipe!!  Only used 1 onion, 2 well drained 185g tuna tins and 700, rather than 750g tomato, and the volume was JUST under the maximum.  I put the risotto in the thermoserve for a few minutes and this is when I added the peas.  The TMX certainly didn't seem to be under too much pressure or anything, and as I say the volume was just under the 2L mark.

Verdict . . . a yummy, healthy, quick and easy meal . . .YAY!

Good to hear that the Tuna Risotto worked well in doubling the recipe Lellyj.

We had this for tea tonight with the addition of some fresh asparagus added with the peas (I didn't add the tuna until then either). A nice quick, cheap meal with ingredients on hand.

Short on time tonight and there was only 4 of us for dinner so I made this. So quick and easy and soooo delicious!

Just a few minor changes: added a small leek instead of onion, 1 teaspoon of good old vege stock concentrate instead of chicken stock and added a 425g tin of tuna in last 5 minutes. Stirred through about 3 tablespoons of grated parmesan cheese then sqeezed lemon juice on top to serve. YUMYUM

Am about to make this for dinner. Had planned on Hokkien noodles with pork, but found that the pork had gone bad in the fridge - argh! At least the dog was happy. Have no other proteins and need to have dinner on the table in the next 30 mins, so fingers crossed this is a winner!

Well I managed to get it cooked and to the table in just over half an hour. I did also make some MEMOC (http://www.forumthermomix.com/index.php?topic=3419.0) to put into it as with only two vegetables it didn't feel quite enough for the children who are in the middle of their two week intensive swimming classes at school.

I really enjoyed it, DH thought it was OK and then added some pepper and really enjoyed it, and both the kids were not too impressed (but as they are soooo tired and nothing is making them happy today I wouldn't rely on it).

This looks so yummy. Do you use tin tomatoes or fresh tomatoes? I can't wait to try it!

TAT I always used tinned tomatoes for this as it is really good to make if you are in a big hurry (and a tin is easy as  ;D). Did use fresh tomatoes once but didn't like the colour of the risotto or all the skins hanging off the butterfly. HTH :)
