I didn't really follow a recipe to make this. I used Mary Berry's mushroom risotto as a guideline for how to make it but added different ingredients for a chicken risotto and another veggie version. The chicken risotto contained 1/2 an onion, 1/2 pepper, 2 mushrooms and 250g chicken breast. These quantities worked pretty well. The vegetable risotto had 1 pepper, 3 mushrooms, 1 stick of celery and 1/2 an onion. I didn't have much of a plan so I just threw all the vegetables in to the pan at the same time and fried the chicken in a separate pan.I didn't have enough white wine so made up the difference with extra stock but this overwhelmed the flavour in the veggie risotto but it was ok in the chicken one. The rice in the vegetable one also seemed to have a slightly odd texture (still tasted good though!). As usual, I didn't follow an instruction properly; I didn't add the stock a bit at a time which might've caused the rice to go a little gloopy but that only happened in the veggie one so I'm not sure. Despite a few hiccoughs along the way, it tasted good and was definitely a popular meal at home. How much more can you ask for?
