Thank you sooooo much!  Can't wait to give this a go.  You reckon just leave out the egg and not use a replacer?  May try adding a mashed banana instead of egg...

Quirkycooking - What is EVOO?

Yum!  Thanks Nay-nay.  If any of your dessert risottos are dairy AND egg free, I would love a copy.  Please   

Anyone have a great tired and tested recipe?  Gluten free even?  Or not...& I will play around with it?

Our recipe just ain't cutting it.

I am no good with photos...here is my recipe from last night.  I reckon this recipe would be very forgiving - I just threw things in and weighed as I went.  Turned out pretty good.

Cacciatore Chicken Risotto

1 or 2 cloves garlic
parsley/herbs of choice
100 - 200g bacon

675g liquid chicken stock (or water with your own homemade stock)
tin crushed tomatoes
splash of wine (red or white) - optional
1 Tablespoon tomato paste (optional)

I'll give it a shot - like Quirky, we are dairy and wheat free...and egg and soy!  So risotto is a great choice for us
