You are all fabulous and thanks to faffa and whisks, I was able to wow my family with a beautiful risotto  :)    Looks like I may be having another demo with some of them!!!!

I love happy endings! ;D
A great cook is one who can rustle up a fabulous family meal with some freezer burnt chops, wilted carrots, sprouting potatoes and cabbage that's gone brown on the cut edges.

I prepared two batches of the mushroom risotto to serve several people and actually had about 1/3 of a batch left in the bowl after filling the serving bowl and left it in the machine.

After my guests had left, I added some duck stock (just happened to have some in the fridge, could have used chicken, beef or ??) to the bowl, processed it on speed 5-6 until I had a creamy mass with lovely flavor.  Refrigerated it and the next day heated it and ladled it over roasted carrots, celery and onions.  It made a delicious "gravy" to take a homely serving of plain vegetables to an entirely new level.

I agree, wonderful suggestion. Might be worth me doing another batch of risotto just to get the 'gravy' - could freeze it in batches.  I'm sure it would be nice over chicken too, not just vegies?

That is lateral thinking indeed.
May all dairy items in your fridge be of questionable vintage.

I made another batch of the risotto "gravy" this evening to top a casserole of braised chicken thighs, artichoke hearts, celery, shallots and broccoli florets.
I did a bit of gardening this afternoon and pulled up a several bunches of shallots to slice and put through the dehydrator for shallot "chips" and fortunately did not slice all of them because I ended up filling all the trays and still had seven left over so just cut them in half for the casserole.  It must have been serendipity because I had been wondering what to do with the broccoli and celery which were nearing their "use-by" date and then my eye fell on a jar of artichoke hearts in the pantry.  A happy combination.
