This risotto has pumpkin and peas, but you could also use sweet potato, spinach, or anything else similar. I usually ask my kids to choose a vegetable each, and then they feel that they have contributed!
The cheat to this recipe pre-cooking the rice in your rice cooker, you can use any rice, and really, any amount. A huge shout out to my sister in law, Jilda who first gave me the idea.
Whilst the rice is cooking, boil, in a large saucepan, chopped pumpkin, peas, and an onion. As these are cooking, add vegetable stock, mustard and curry powder, and a little pepper if you wish.
Just as the veges are almost cooked, add the rice. You will probably need to add more water as you allow the mixture to simmer for about 5 minutes.
Done!
It is so quick, and a lovely, and healthy meal that the kids love!
