Not cauliflower

For once I have a ‘rice’ recipe that doesn’t use cauliflower, I know right. This risotto is parsnip based, it easy to make, packed with flavour and is a great base that can have more yummy ingredients added.

Base recipe

I like to have basic recipes, it means they can be made in bulk and then different things can be added depending on what you are in the mood for. This is a perfect example of a basic recipe. I like to add some chicken to this recipe so there is a good dose of protein for those ‘I can’t be bothered to do anything else’ moments. When you are feeling more inspired you can add:

• bacon, 
• mushrooms, 
• turmeric, 
• kale, 
• chorizo, 
• pumpkin; 

the possibilities are endless.
