Notes

  • When you check the risotto half way through, if it is looking a little too dry then you can add some extra stock. You want there to still be a little liquid in it when serving so it is a little saucy.
  • If your risotto is still too watery, then put it back in the oven for another 5-10 minutes until some of the stock has absorbed.
  • You could swap 150ml of the stock for white wine.
  • Save yourself some time and swap the shallots for onions and use frozen.
  • You can swap the parmesan for any grated cheese that melts well.
  • A couple of teaspoons of pesto stirred in just before serving add loads of flavour.
