Syn Free! Spicy Vegetable & Bacon Risotto - Mmm.

Just thought I'd post the recipe of my dinner for tonight! 



Spicy Vegetable & Bacon Risotto  - Extra Easy Syns - 0

The ingredients i've used are really just a basic guide. Depending on your preference you can add or subtract any vegetable or quantities! It's a real good recipe for experimenting and using what's left over in the cupboards. You can also add tinned tomatoes if you're looking for something a bit heartier.

2 Large Flat Mushrooms
1 Large Onion
Handful of Green Beans
1/2 Red Pepper
1/2 Green Pepper
1 Carrot
2 tbs Sweetcorn
1 tbs Turmeric
1 tbs Paprika
3 Cloves of Garlic
2 Thin Chillies
Chicken or Vegetable Stock
2 Lean Slices of Bacon
Risotto Rice 
Frylight Spray

1. Dice or slice all the mushrooms, vegetables (except sweetcorn) and garlic and place in a large non-stick frying pan or wok and spray with fry light. Turn up the heat and begin to fry.
2. Chop up the chillies and bacon and add to the pan along with the turmeric and paprika. Stir in. If necessary, add some more fry light. This should soon start smelling awesome!
3. Once the bacon is browned off, add the rice. This can be as much or as little as you like. Stir it until all the rice is coated in the veg.
4. Add about 350 ml of chicken or vegetable stock and lower the heat, keep stiring.
5. When the dish starts looking a little dry, add some more stock. Repeat this process until the rice is soft enough to eat!
6. Just before serving, stir in the sweetcorn. 

Voila. I will be having this with a grilled chicken breast.
