Risotto
Tip
In Australia it has just turned to autumn, my favourite time of the the year. There is a glut of cheap end of summer produce around and it is not so hot during the day. I love a good risotto, but am mindful of the the high glycemic nature of eating arborio rice. This risotto uses less rice and more vegetables, to create a healthier and seasonal vegetable risotto.

Loved this dish!!! So good! I didn't have button squash so replaced this with mushrooms (added along with the water & stock) and it was amazing. Will be making this again!
What a delicious risotto thank you! ive tried a few risotto recipes and this is definately one of the best. You may want to adjust the steps to include when to add the oil and butter.. Delish xo
Delicious. I used all my left over vegies. The flavour was delicious. I loved the chunky vegies. I particularly loked the reduced quantity of rice and the large amount of veg. Much healthier
Delish - even without the butter and olive oil which I didn't include. (Needs to be added into the prep section.) Great to have a risotto which tastes so good and is well tolerated by a diabetic. Cheese and lemon combo adds a fine dimension. Congrats.
Thank you so much for sharing this delicious and easy recipe. I've already made it twice as the family just love it! Great that it uses less rice and more vegetables than lots of other risotto recipes.
