Chookie, for so few ingredients this tastes amazing.  I only did 1/2 quantity because I didn't have enough risotto rice but it was plenty for the 2 of us with some leftover for arancini balls.  1 teaspn pepper is enough for us, well it was only 1/2 tsp for 1/2 quantity of the recipe.  I could have experimented with more but left well enough alone.

JD, yes great meal for little ingredients. You could always stuff mushrooms with the left over rissotto.

It certainly is Chookie, cheap too.  DH really got stuck into it, I think I could have put more on his plate tonight.

Did this again for my lunch today and topped it with a few pan fried scallops I wanted to get rid of from the freezer.

I do not really eat risotto for health reasons but I make it quite often for my family ( husband is Italian ) I tried this recipe early
this morning to see if it will pass the Italian test and then I ate 2 portions! Lovely! I followed the other comments and cut back on the black pepper. 1 1/2 ts is enough for me.  And the fried sage on top is just the BEST.

Welcome to the forum nimpex. I'm glad you were pleased with the risotto. Have you had your thermomix long?

Nippex, try a mushroom version,  with fresh and dried mushrooms.

Using this recipe as the base, tonight I turned it into a chicken and mushroom risotto by omitting the sage and adding 115g mushroom sauce & 185g cooked chicken from the freezer.  It was delicious Chookie.

I used this recipe as a base again for tonight’s risotto.  After the risotto was cooked I added the following ingredients which I heated in the microwave - roasted pumpkin, diced cooked chicken I had in the freezer and some leftover cooked beans but I omitted the sage steps.  I only sprinkled the cheese over the top of the risotto, didn’t mix it through during the cooking stage.  It was delicious. Only made half a batch so as not to fill the freezer spaces anymore than they already are.  This is the leftovers.
