Finally made this for dinner tonight. We loved it. Thanks Jam, will be a regular in our house. I used basmati rice as recipe asks for long grain. Is that right, or should I have used risotto (arborio) rice?

I normally use aborio for risotto too Uni, but regular long grain works surprisingly well with this one (or maybe that's just because it's what I'm used too!)...also a handy one for when we run out of aborio :)

I made this tonight with chicken mince instead of beef mince - it was delicious!
The whole family enjoyed it and I will definitely make it again.
Thanks for the recipe.

 ^^ is the slow speed before 1. Just make sure that your risotto is moving round.
