Risottos to Keep you Warm all Winter

This glorious mushroom risotto

Mushroom and risotto are just a match made in heaven. You can use absolutely any kind of mushroom. You can sauté them, or you can fry them. You can make it 100% vegetable-based or you can beef it up with a meat-based stock. You can make it super fancy with a drizzle of truffle oil, or you can keep it humble with some home-grown parsley. However, you want to dazzle, mushroom risotto has all the razzle!

This succulent prawn risotto

Prawn risotto is such a decadent yet simple dish! You can leave the prawns whole, or you can dice them up. Either way, it’s a fail-safe way to ensure you achieve the most perfectly cooked, tender prawn pieces. You can also be very creative with the herbs and seasonings. If you’re not sure where to begin, this Jamie Oliver prawn, mint and pea risotto is a great place to start.

This creamy baked pumpkin risotto

This vibrant orange dish is a treat for the eyes as well as the taste buds. Delectable creamy risotto baked in an oven-safe dish takes so much of the work out. Impress your guests further with some crispy sage on top!

This drool-worthy smoked ham hock and barley risotto

Asparagus might just be one of the most underrated risotto ingredients as it is, but pair it with this melt-in-your-mouth ham hock and barley, and you’ll be in heaven. This is a nice slow-cooked risotto for when you’ve got some extra time on your hands.

This classic saffron risotto

This simple understated classic is such an easy throw together. With minimal ingredients, the star of this dish is the saffron which boasts glorious colour and exotic aromatics.
