SLOW COOKER VEGETABLE RISOTTO RECIPE

This is a good recipe when things are hectic at home. As it’s made in a slow cooker, you don't need to stand stirring over a hot stove for hours. Coconut milk might seem a surprising ingredient in a savoury risotto, but this is the secret to its delicious creaminess. I made it after returning from a mini break away, (can it ever be a "break" with toddlers?!) and was much appreciated by a tired and hungry family!



Serves 6-8
Ingredients:
1 cup (200g) short grain/arborio rice (white or brown)
1 can coconut milk (full fat or light)
2 cups (500 ml) vegetable stock
Handful of parmesan finely grated 
Handful of squash or carrot finely grated
1 tsp parsley (dried)
Salt and pepper


Method:
Add rice, milk and stock into a slow cooker. Stir/mix well and turn cooker on ‘Low’ for approximately 2 hours. If possible stir every 30 minutes. Roughly 5 minutes before the total cooking time is complete, add the grated squash/carrot and parmesan. To serve, season with salt and pepper and sprinkle with parsley if desired.



Total time (prep and cooking): 2 hours and 10 minutes.
Suitable for: Gluten/dairy free, vegetarian, and vegan.
Other meal ideas: Serve with cold meats and or a crunchy green salad. They are also great for left overs as little rice patties dipped in beaten egg, bread crumbs and then pan fried.
