Quick help - risotto

[Benji]

I've got risotto on the stove, and we forgot to get groceries today lol.

So I have chicken stock with the arborio rice on the stove as we speak.. and I have peas..

What herbs/spices will go well with chicken stock, risotto and peas? I have a bit of fresh parsley and my usual dried herbs but seriously our cupboard/fridge is almost bare!!

Doing our online shop TONIGHT!!!! :laughing:

Parsley sounds good.
Maybe thyme?
Do you have white wine? That would add some extra yum to it.

[kuddles]

Maybe a bit of garlic if you have some?

[biscotti]

Garlic if you've got it and the parsley as well and chuck in some white wine too if you have it :chef:

[Benji]

Bummer.. too late for the garlic.. I thought of that too once it was too late and the risotto was already on :rolleyes: might put some garlic granules instead :laughing:

Haven't got any wine :( boy I feel like some too!!!

[Kema]

How about some parmesan, or even just some tasty cheese at the end?

MM:bee:

[kuddles]

Never too late for garlic.
Basil always compliments chicken stock.
A bit of lemon juice might freshen it up.
Any cheese?? A bit of cheese would be nice.

[Kema]

I realise cheese isnt spices/herbs but always adds a bit of yum to risotto :D

[CookiesRYum]

you can put the garlic in while its cooking.. i often do... i actually prefer it..

tyhme, orogano, lemon zest/juice,

instead of wine you can put a bit of vinigar...

do you have anything tinned; like any beans, or tomoatoes, or corn or any other vegies? any chesse.. any carrott?


onions? fry them seperately in a pan and sprinkle them over at the end..

[Benji]

I was thinking cheese too! I love parmesan in risotto, usually I make a mushroom & cheese one but don't have mushrooms and only Colby cheese!!!

Do you think colby would go? It's quite a distinct taste.

[CookiesRYum]

yeh i would put some in... at the end.. just put it in too taste and maybe lift it with a bit of lemon juice...

hmm.. u are making me want broad bean risotto!

[Benji]

Mmmmmm beans *drools* :p beans would be so good.

OK it's almost done! It has: garlic, lemon juice, parsley, dried basil, along with the stock, peas and arborio rice..

Then just gotta add some cheese :D

Thanks lovelies, it smells delicious :chef:
