I've never made risotto before, what seasoning/herbs do you use for yours Heather?

Really fancied melted cheese on tomatoes on toast but as I don't want to use up the HEX if possible I used 2 lasagna sheets sandwiched with quark on one side and tomato puree on the other side, soaked it in boiling water, put ontop onion, tomatoes, cheese and herbs and cooked for 20mins, basil on top. yum. just what i was looking for.

Ooh you should definitely try it @Passion fruit ! It's yummy, and the way I make it, syn free! I don't really add any herbs or seasoning to it, I make it with veg stock so there's seasoning flavour in there and I add about 1 teaspoon of salt to give it a bit of oomph. Would you like the recipe?

Thank-you can't wait to try it out, what could I substitute for the mushrooms? As I love them but they don't love me! Give me really bad stomach ache, I've tried for about 10 years to find a mushroom that I can eat, the ones I want to test next are the really big ones I've seen used as a burger bun, I'm just building up the courage for potentially feeling terrible lol

Aaah mushrooms do to you what eggs do to me! Every so often I try again but to no avail
To be fair you can swap them for whatever you like, spinach could be a good alternative because it doesn't need a lot of cooking?

Cool. Yeah broccoli, why not! I guess you can pretty much throw anything in! I might add carrots to mine next time. I'm an experimental cook so I'll throw anything in lol.
