  • Dish dwas delicious, method was terrible....

    Dish dwas delicious, method was terrible.
    After reading the comments about the pumpkin turning to puree I decided to skip step 1, roast the pumpkin in the oven and add it after the final step.
    Also 15 minutes was no where near long enough to cook the aborio rice, it took 30 minutes. Otherwise, the ingredients were perfect and it tasted amazing.

    This recipe has a nice flavour however the method is terrible. Also ended up with a very burnt bowl and the 10 second mix on speed 5 at the end purée's it, I would have had a very nice risotto if it weren't for this step.

    Submitted by AmandaWells on 15. August 2014 - 16:10.

    YUM! this was huge hit in our family. question: is the pumpkin meant to be like a puree once cooked? or should it be chunky?

     

    I agree with Prattles, I found the last 10 sec stir was a bit to much and next time was going to try just stiring it by hand instead.

    Submitted by countess on 17. July 2014 - 16:00.

    Which part of step 3 did the burning happen? The rice and wine or rice and stock? The directions in part 3 are based on the risotto in the EDC. You can use the butterfly in step 3 to help stir. Just remember that you shouldn't go above speed 4 when the butterfly is in the machine.

  • I found that last stir on

    Submitted by Prattles on 3. December 2013 - 16:44.

    I found that last stir on speed 5 reverse for 10 seconds was way too much.  I had this beautiful risotto that turned into mush after that tmrc_emoticons.( I think the recipe is great and it still tasted nice but texture wise it wasn't good at all after that last 10 seconds,  I think next time I'd just stir with the spoon when I tip it out into the thermoserve.  I will definitely make it again though, because other than that it was great.

    Submitted by Francesca_1986 on 22. August 2013 - 17:29.

    Very yummy, i didn't add any salt or pepper until it was on my plate as the stock cubes i used were already salty enough.

    I also left out the cream and it was delicious Definitely going to keep again!

  • If it didn't have any taste

    Submitted by countess on 7. July 2013 - 21:42.

    If it didn't have any taste you may have done something wrong - try using a different stock, a stronger feta, more salt and pepper etc. However if you aren't into garlic, this probably isn't a good recipe for you.
