I did make some changes but everyone really enjoyed this risotto. I used 300g rice and added some blitzed-up zucchini and cauliflower, and I also used raclette cheese because that's what I had in the fridge. 750g water was enough for us. It made heaps and we love leftovers. Will definitely make this one again. Thanks for the recipe!

Excellent, easy meal. I didn't have enough arborio rice so used 100g of sushi rice.
I could only fit in 700ml of water, it was maximum capacity. I didn't add any extra and it was perfectly done at 20 minutes. It didn't burn or stick ( I didn't wash out the bowl either). I think a really important part is to rest for at least 5 minutes, even 10 at the end in the thermoserve.

Yum, cooked this tonight but without the chicken, so added extra mushrooms. Daughter couldn't get enough of it, which is good as it cooked so much we will be eating it again tomorrow night!!
Tasty recipe, kids will love.

You should have put the
You should have put the butterfly in after you cooked the onion garlic and bacon then added rice it help move the entire ingredients through the bowl. Also fill the thermomix to capacity. Hope that helps

Just lovely. I don't know why
Just lovely. I don't know why people are saying it burned the bottom of theif bowl? They must have made an error on their behalf. I filled my thermomix up with water to the 2 litre mark and let it cook all the way through the 20mins without adding anymore water. It turned out very yummy and didn't burn the bottom of my bowl.. Kids loved it
Nicole
So good !!! We don't have
So good !!!
We don't have wine so I subbed acv and it's amazing
This was sooooo delicious
This was sooooo delicious better than EDC recipe. I grated cheese separately & so I didn't have the burning or sticking. Water was just under max line & that was plenty, did not add extra. Cooked probs 5 mins longer. Loved it! Used Shitaki mushrooms. Kids loved it & so did my husband whom is hard to please especially when it comes to bad sloppy risottos. Very tasty. Butterfly stays on until the end.
I made this for friends
I made this for friends tonight, and the one who said "I don't really like rice" complimented me on how nice it was. Thanks for posting, I will make it again.
I made this for dinner last
I made this for dinner last night. Whilst it tasted nice, I too had trouble with it burning to the base of the thermomix. I had read through the comments prior to starting so I didn't grate cheese in bowl; added water earlier than recipe stated and didn't have butterfly on as it wouldn't stay on. I think I will stick to the risotto in the EDC and make my own variations.
Delicious! I noticed that
Delicious! I noticed that there was no mention of putting in the butterfly in the last step but I put it in anyway and it came out with perfect risotto consistency. I also added some capsicum.
We had this for dinner
We had this for dinner tonight and it was a winner with the hubby and kids. I omitted the bacon and added chorizo instead. Will be whipping up this one again.

This is really yummy!!! I didnt have mushrooms so I omitted them. My fussy children ate it also (although they had mozzarella instead of parmesan)

Delicious. I only used half the water and added a tub of phili reduced fat cooking cream and the Parmesan before transferring to thermoserver.
Unfortunately did not work
Unfortunately did not work out. It was gloopy and a mess. The butterfly came out (like it seems to have for most) and I needed to use the edc recommendations to cook the risotto. Bummer
A big hit in at dinner time
A big hit in at dinner time with funny eaters. I have learnt though with cooking this twice not to put so much liquid in it.
This was super tasty, however
This was super tasty, however it was quite gluggy. Not sure what I can do to avoid that next time.

Made this the other night. Very tasty. Even the kids at loved it!
Can't say I enjoyed this one
Can't say I enjoyed this one as much as other thermomix risottos I've made so far. The butterfly came out so I didn't bother trying to put it back in. I couldn't taste the chicken but then I probably would miss it if I left it out. I couldn't use all the water recommended and when adding after 15 mins as suggested I still couldn't fit more that about 800mls in total and then the result was a bit gluggy anyway. Normally love your stuff but this one didn't do it for me.
Big hit here! I had a leek
Big hit here!
I had a leek to use so put that in instead of onion. Awesome flavour. Went down well with hubby too!
I sauteed for 5mins, varoma.
Some bits of chicken were still a little pink So probably a little longe at that point of adding the chicken.
Thanks for sharing.
Hi Everyone, I have amended
Hi Everyone, I have amended the recipe to ensure you wash the bowl after grating cheese. This seems to be why people are having problems with it sticking. As for the butterfly coming off, I try and ensure it is in the correct position - in between the tightest 'v' section in between the blades...ask your consultant if you are unsure. Alternatively, leave the butterfly out and cook on speed 1.5 (in between 1 and 2). The butterfly can come off if there are lots of chunks of chicken etc and it is not on the 'right side' of the blades, but you can cook a risotto without it, no problem
If you use chicken thigh, it will be less 'overcooked' than breast, as some of you have mentioned. Like with any recipe...results will vary, but I think the overall result on this one is very yummy!
I have just made this, and am
I have just made this, and am waiting for it to cool a little before serving. It tastes beautiful, but I was just wondering if I was supposed to leave the MC off for the entire cooking time? I was only able to add around half the water, and did leave the MC off for a portion of the cooking time, and it was slightly over cooked and gluey...
It was my first attempt at risotto, any tips would be much appreciated
This is delicious! I was
This is delicious! I was hesitant after reading some of the comments here but gave it a go anyway and I think it might be a regular on our dinner schedule. Was so tasty. Thank you for the recipe, have saved it to our favourites.
Recipe says 1100 gms of water
Recipe says 1100 gms of water not Mls, not sure if this would make a difference to you fitting it in ?
The risotto was very tasty
The risotto was very tasty but it took abiut an hour to cook, that was rather annoying, I had to take out the butterfly as it came off, there was hardly any room left for water once it was time to add it and I ended up cooking it as per the recipe book as it wouldn't cook on the
"Gentle stir setting" setting I am not sure what I did wrong, it would have been better cooking it in the oven. When the rice did finally get soft it became a risotto porridge, at least my family aren't fussy. Any Suggestions would be appreciated
Thumbs up from everyone in
Thumbs up from everyone in our house. Was a bit worried when the butterfly came off in use beginning, but put it back on and no more issues. Couldn't get the whole 1100ml of water in. Only used about 900ml but it still tasted great. Definitely needs 5-10 mins in thermo server before eating.
Another failed thermomix
Another failed thermomix meal.
My risotto was gluggy and oily around the edges.
The butterfly popped out several times.
So far only one in six meals has been successful even though I followed them all word for word with precision!
I've been had thinking the thermomix would change our lives for the better...quite the reverse...
Very nice! My bowl did get
Very nice! My bowl did get quite burnt at the bottom which took forever to clean tough. I also got an Error 23 message but turning the machine off and on at the powerpoint fixed that. Any tips from people for an easy way to clean a burnt bowl??
This was amazing I had
This was amazing I had nothing left in the freezer but chicken so it was a great quick easy recipe. I added pinenuts and spinach near the end didn't have any mushrooms and was so good!
) I did get error 23 beeping at me half way through have no idea why I just turned it off and on and its fine.
Very, very yummy! Didn't get
Very, very yummy! Didn't get all the water in but it had a lovely, creamy texture - will definitely be making it again
Yummy flavour, but was gluggy
Yummy flavour, but was gluggy and over cooked. Will definitely make this again but will reduce cooking time. Thank you!
Easy to make & great taste. I
Easy to make & great taste. I think next time though I'll reduce the cooking time a little, as I thought it was maybe a little bit over cooked. Didn't use the butterfly or get all the water in, did
"Counter-clockwise operation" speed 2 also. 
Great recipe I didn't use
Great recipe
I didn't use the butterfly as it kept popping out - did
"Counter-clockwise operation" and speed 2 as recommended in the EDC and this prevented burning.
Didn't get all 1100g water in (got about 900g in) but found I didn't need it anyway.
Towards the end of the 20 minutes when the mixture was bubbling, I simply put the varoma on top so it didn't make a mess.
The risotto needs to sit for 5 minutes after cooking and during this time I added a heaped tablespoon of butter and it made it lovely and creamy
Tried this recepie last
Tried this recepie last night. Great hit with everyone. Easy and very tasty. The only problem I had was keeping the butterfly in. I just took it out and gave it a mix occassionally.
