It really wasn’t for us. Thick and stodgy the taste was ok, but it wasn’t risotto as I know it. It was almost solid in consistency and had a gluey sort of texture. Hubby eats anything and even he binned it.

Finished product 😋 was a hit!!
Everyone needs to adjust for their own cooker I guess but I did add an extra 1/2 cup stock and closer to the end a bit of water to stop it from getting too think. I only put in 1/2 cup cheese but its up to individual taste.
I cooked on low for first hour and felt the rice wasnt cooking quick enough so cooked on high for the next 2 hours then back to low for the last hour…so 4 hours total. Makes heaps & very filling so leftovers for lunch 😁

Wow, this was great. I did it exactly as the recipe said, and everyone and all their food likes/dislikes ate everything. Thanks for a tasty meal, and so easy to make and little effort required once cooking.

Made this last night. Just magnificent!!! Thank you for posting this.
I added extra spring onion, extra mushrooms, extra chicken, and extra capsicum. Also added one more cup of chicken stock to balance this. Also added parsley (heaps) and 3 cloves of garlic.
I love flavour!!!

Made this but added grated zucchini, spring onion instead of shallots, extra mushrooms, extra chicken and extra capsicum. Added 3 cups of chicken stock to balance this. Instead of Italian herbs added garlic granules, basil and parsley. Was yummy as. Will definitely make again!

Hi,
Does this freeze well?
I really want to cook this but my husband doesn’t like rice so I don’t want to have to eat it for an entire week 🤔😬

I made this last weekend and omg it is amazing, I did find that at the end of the suggested cooking time it needed some more cooking and a bit extra liquid but oh so yummy will definitely be making this again.

I made this today followed recipe exactly
Rice is still crunchy and all liquad absorbed. I think maybe the liquad should be more than 2 cups

I used onion as I didn’t have any shallots and I added a bit of garlic. Cooked perfectly, loved it! Got six large portions out of it, so it’s a great budget-friendly easy-cook meal that seems a bit fancy 🙂

Loved this dish. I added extra mushroom and bacon as we love that in our meals and forgot to add the parmesan cheese. But this tasted so delicious and will be cooking again.

This was so easy, I cooked it for 3 hours the last hour was on high as it was doing nothing (ancient slow cooker)and stirred once. It cooked perfectly.
I used low salt stock…. which may be the issue as I found it a little bland. Still would make again but would play with recipe a bit to suit my tastes. Definitely worked out better then my oven baked recipe.

Looks delicious! Does it matter if you’re not home to stir it every hour? Sorry I’m still new to slow cooking… 🙂

I’d recommend inputting the ingredients into whatever calorie counting app you generally use for an accurate count 🙂
