I just love risotto. It’s one of my favorite winter comfort dishes, but one thing that always puts me off is the time and effort it takes to cook – it is a labor of love! So, to satisfy my love and craving while saving on time and energy, I came up with my cheats risotto! It gives you all the same creamy, warming risotto goodness just using pre-cooked rice instead of raw. Plus, it’s a great way of using up leftover rice.

The aromatic, fruity flavors of the Mountain Pepperberry Leaf and Native Basil bring this risotto to life and work so well with the juicy chicken pieces that stud the rice. Serve with a fresh rocket salad and a warming glass of red and you have a perfect winter evening.
