I could not believe how delicious this risotto was and IT WAS MADE IN THE MICROWAVE!! Yes that’s right. No laborious stirring with this recipe. No way!. Load the ingredients in your microwave bowl then let the microwave do its thing. All you need to do is give it a quick mix half way through, add the rest of the ingredients and you’re off! I’m going to play around with the ingredient and flavor combinations and share with you what works. I am all for a delicious and easy mid-week recipe when time can be short.
