    Recipe is created for
    TM 5
    If you are using a Thermomix® TM6 measuring cup with your Thermomix® TM5:
    For cooking (simmering) at temperatures of 95°C or above (200°F), the simmering basket should always be used instead of the TM6 measuring cup, as the TM6 measuring cup fits tightly in the lid. The simmering basket rests loosely on top, is steam-permeable, and also prevents food spatter from the mixing bowl.
    Please note that the TM5 mixing bowl has a larger capacity than the TM31 (capacity of 2.2 liters instead of 2.0 liters for TM 31). Recipes for the Thermomix TM5 may not be cooked with a Thermomix TM31 for safety reasons without adjusting the quantities. Risk of scalding by spraying of hot liquids: Do not exceed the maximum filling quantity and observe the filling level markings of the mixing bowl!

    Finally a risotto recipe that is a smaller serving...not something I like to eat reheated. Thank you thank you. Beautiful flavours, perfect texture.

    Really tasty risotto!
    I forgot to pop the butterfly in and it still tasted fantastic.
    Will be making this again!

    Love this. I basically double everything except the bacon, I put in 6 rashers, and I omit the parmesan and spring onions. It makes enough for 2 dinners for 2 adults and a toddler and then some! I actually used basmati rice the first time by mistake but it came out fantastic so I use it every time now. So filling and delicious.

    I doubled the quantities and cooking time and took out the chicken and added peas and broccoli when there was about 10 mins to go, also used tablespoons of stock instead of teaspoons and the flavour was delicious.  will definately make this again

    Delicious! My husband loved & he's not a risotto fan! Added broccoli, cooked bbq chicken & peas with 5 min to go! Also added 1 tsp extra veg stock & replaced parmasen with fetta - thanks

    Best risotto we've had in the thermometer. We changed out the butter and it was maybe a tad too liquiddy but the taste was great. Straight to the pool room for this recipe.
