Reasonably healthy - basil risotto with Quorn pieces, basil leaves, basil pesto, onion, garlic and a dash of apple cider vinegar - normally I would put asparagus with it but had run out x

How long do you have to cook the asparagus when you add it in, Kitten-whiskers ? I want to try to do this very soon.

Tasty! :)

I like to keep a bag of broadbeans & peas in the freezer for emergency meal rissotto. It used to be broadbeans, peas, & edemame, till I found I had to avoid the latter. :(

Thank you BadHare, although it doesn't look it from the picture, the Risotto is greenish in colour because of the basil pesto.

It's horrible when you have to avoid lots of foods - I can relate to that :<

That looks lovely Kitten-whiskers and thank you for sharing.

Alicia :)
