Risotto is one my all time favourite dishes as it is so versatile AND gives you a great opportunity to use of some of your left overs!
Vegan / Vegetarian?
This is not a problem, simply swop out the chicken for Quorn.
Low FODMAP?
To make this dish into a low FODMAP risotto, a few adjustments need to be made (but nothing too taxing!).
Make the following changes;
- The green part of a spring onion instead of onions
- Use only the leek leaves
- Use diced peppers instead of sweetcorn
- Use a low FODMAP stock such as this on from A Little Bit Yummy
Gluten Free?
If, like me, you need a gluten free diet, then making a gluten free risotto is so easy! All you need to do is make sure your stock is gluten free.
