Our healthier, simple risotto recipe will be a staple for your slow cooker at home!
1 Preheat slow cooker on high. In a heavy-based pan, place oil and set over medium-high heat. Add onion and garlic and cook for 2-3 minutes. Add rice and stir for another 1 minute to coat with oil. Transfer to slow cooker. Add stock, water, wine (if using), chilli flakes, carrot and celery.
2 Increase heat to high. If pan is dry, add a little oil. Place chicken in pan and cook until browned. Add to ingredients in slow cooker and cook on high for 1½–3 hours, or until rice is just tender and mixture is creamy (see HFG tip).
3 Reduce slow cooker to low then add the peas (or chopped spinach/silverbeet). Heat for 15 more minutes, then stir in parmesan and serve garnished with parsley.
The first time you make this, note the cooking time, as overcooked rice is gluggy. Times may vary due to the slow cooker model and stock temperature.
