Courgette Rissotto

[Mrs Ava]

Have we mentioned that as a good courgette user upper?  Made one tonight for supper.  Gently fried some of my shallots and garlic in olive oil until soft.  Added some chopped mushrooms (supermarket  :-[) some of my own carrots, diced, chopped french beans, a whole courgette diced and some chard stem and shredded leaves.  Flung in about a cup or so of rissotto rice and stired until it was all coated in oil then added veggie stock, a ladel full at a time.  It took about a pint and a half of stock (roughly) and was finished with a swirl of cream.  Heaven in a bowl! (And used another courgette up!)  ;D

Just had my breakfast but after reading that I'm hungry again.
Sounds lovely.

I've posted a courgette (spring veg) risotto recipe on R4a http://www.recipes4all.co.uk/index.php/topic,335.0.html, it's very yummy and a great way to use up all those extra courgettes. :)
