    Yum, Yum, Yum !!!

    I followed the recipe exactly and whilst Thermie was full, she didn't spill over.  I should have reduced the amount of rice and water (as per others comments), as this recipe made enough to fill both of my thermo servers!!  Poor hubby will be eating risotto and aranchi balls for the next week.

    Thanks for the recipe, I'll definately be making it again.

    I enjoyed this and it was quick and easy to make. I used sweet potato as a substitute for the pumpkin, just because I didn't have pumpkin and this was nice too. Thanks.

    I made this last night...delicious! I reduced a few quantities as I only had 300g of rice but it still worked beautifully.

  • I really wanted to love this,

    Submitted by sarah16 on 13. November 2014 - 18:30.

    I really wanted to love this, as it sounded delicious and I love anything with coconut cream. However the measurements seem wrong. Was full to the brim and then bubbled over. Also don't like how the chicken cooks for only 4 minutes then is supposed to cook in the mixture while its sitting in the thermoserver. I would rather cook the chicken at the start, then remove & add to the mixture again at the end of cooking. Could be a fantastic recipe but needs some fixing up first. tmrc_emoticons.-)

    I thought this was a lovely recipe! I too only used 300g rice which was heaps, and reduced the water to 600mls but kept pumpkin amount the same and used 5 chicken tenderloins cut up very small and it worked perfectly. Thanks for the recipe.

  • I havent done a risotto in

    Submitted by jayleah on 1. September 2014 - 20:44.

    I havent done a risotto in years and this was my first 'thermy' risotto.  Quite nice, halved the recipe and it worked perfectly for our family.  Will be on the dinner rotation tmrc_emoticons.)

    Submitted by megavoltz on 31. August 2014 - 20:55.

    I agree with one of the previous commenters that this is the best risotto recipe I've ever tried. I did reduce the rice to 300g but otherwise followed the recipe. It was quite full but didn't bubble over. The flavour was awesome. I'm so happy I tried this recipe and will definitely be making it again and again.

  • Hello, sorry to see my recipe

    Submitted by michfb2 on 22. July 2014 - 18:47.

    Hello, sorry to see my recipe has had issues. I have made some adjustments to help.  I have adjusted the quantity of the chicken and pumpkin. Although, I have made it many times and not had it overflow. You can use your steaming basket instead of the MC as a lid for the thermomix to allow more steam to escape and it won't bubble as much. It is important that the chicken is diced small for it to cook. The resting time in the thermoserver is important too. It allows the chicken to keep cooking through and the rice to absorb more water. All risotto is still a bit watery until it rests, it gets better with age, like us lol. I also think it depends on the type of pumpkin you buy as some pumpkins are very watery and add water to the mix. I use butternut. The liquid to rice ratios was the same as those in the EDC for mushroom risotto, as I used that as my skeleton recipe. Lastly if you use any of the homebrand aborrio rices, you will get a pasty gluggy risotto. They are notoriously poor quality, pasty and over processed. I only ever use Riverina for this reason. I hope some of these adjustments help. I was sad to read a few people had trouble with my recipe when I have had so many friends text me to say it was awesome. tmrc_emoticons.;)

  • This recipe was tasty but I'm

    Submitted by telcan81 on 15. July 2014 - 20:03.

    This recipe was tasty but I'm afraid to say it was my first fail in the Thermomix. The ratios are not right and the chicken was no where near cooked after four minutes.  I tried cooking it for longer but in the end put it into a saucepan to cook until ithe chicken was no longer raw.  Upon doing this I realised that the rice was almost totally pureed beneath despite being on reverse and stirring with the spatula during cooking. It ended up more like soup than risotto. A disappointing result for a hungry family

    Yummy! Needs less rice as does over flow the thermo. Liked the flavour and will make again with sundried tomato for sure!

    Submitted by Sarge01 on 30. May 2014 - 20:42.

    have to agree with Jacksmum comment, terrible waste of food. Quantity totally over the top I had to empty half of the mixture before I put the chicken and coconut cream into thermomix. Recipe was so gluggy and way to much desiccated coconut, this is one recipe that I will delete from my collection not worth the effort

  • Disappointing on so many

    Submitted by jacksmum on 19. May 2014 - 18:33.

    Disappointing on so many levels and the whole lot ended up in the bin. The quantities of liquid to rice are not accurate - my poor thermo was filled to overflowing.  I was attracted to the flavour combinations in this recipie and I'm sure they would be good, the recipe may be able to be halved as it looked like it would feed 6-8 people easily. Disappointed.

  • Best risotto recipe i have

    Submitted by Homegrown and under 100 on 14. May 2014 - 19:05.

    Best risotto recipe i have tried so far! If you don't like coconut cream you could use regular. Would be nice if ingredients were in the order used in recipe but I got there in the end, and I added the oil and butter to sauté the  Onions.

  • Hubby made this for dinner

    Submitted by Lingreen on 12. May 2014 - 21:09.

    Hubby made this for dinner tonight and we enjoyed the flavours particularly the addition of the sundried tomato. It did make a lot and poor thermie was bursting at the seams, but we may have added more chicken and pumpkin than in the recipe. Hubby didn't add oil or butter as it didn't state in the instructions (could trip up beginners) but didn't affect the end result.  Thanks for the recipe, risotto's are a fave for us  tmrc_emoticons.)
