Like all risottos this recipe requires some patient stirring, but the soft Arborio rice combined with chicken, mushrooms and peas makes it all worthwhile.

BAKED SALMON WITH CRUNCH MUSTARD CRUST
It’s very easy to over cook salmon and it then ends up dry and unappetizing. So just 15 minutes in the oven with the mayonnaise and crumb topping helps keep the fish nice and moist.
EGG AND CHIVE CROQUETTES
It’s a long time since I last made these. I think it was for one of my children’s 21st birthday parties – a long time ago. I was looking for finger food that you could make beforehand and these fitted the bill and tasted great. I must make them again……..
VEGETARIAN PIE
This is a very hearty dish. Lots of vegetables covered with a lovely parmesan cheese topped potato mash and it’s enough to feed the whole family.
CHICKEN AND ASPARAGUS PASTRIES
There’s lots of uses for these pastries. School lunches, party nibbles, picnic food, to name a few. The great thing is that you can make a batch and freeze them until you need them.
PASTITSIO
Almost lasagna, but not quite. You still need to make a meat sauce, but with the spaghetti mix at the bottom and the cheese sauce on top, it’s quite luscious. Gluten free pasta would work really well in it too. A great family meal……
ROAST VEGETABLE AND CHORIZO ‘PAELLA’
I think this dish is really a risotto, because as I understand it the rice is a paella is cooked without stirring, which gives it a crispy bottom. Paella, risotto, I don’t think it really matters all that much, the main thing is that it’s a great rice dish full of vegetables and tasty chorizo.
CHOCOLATE-ON-CHOCOLATE PUDDING
Reading this recipe has made me drool for a slice of it covered in thick cream. Although I guess even if I started to make it now it would be a few hours before it would be ready. Worth the wait though……
HEARTY VEGETABLE AND BROWN RICE SOUP
It’s been a cold wintery week here in Melbourne this week, so definitely the right time to make a bowl of hearty soup. This vegetable and rice one should warm everyone up.
STEAMED BANANA PUDDING
Winter steamed puddings were always on the menu in our household when I was young. They had the benefit of being cheap and easy to make as well as filling and delicious. Mum made a variety of fruit ones, but I don’t think she even made a banana one. Now I’ve found this recipe I’m wondering why she didn’t.
