• Coat slow cooker with vegetable oil spray. Melt 2 tablespoons butter in 12_inch skillet over medium heat. Add onion and cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Add garlic and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Stir in rice and cook, stirring often, until ends of rice kernels are transparent, about 3 minutes. Stir in wine and cook until fully absorbed, about 1 minute; transfer to slow cooker.
• Bring broth and water to boil in saucepan. Stir 3 cups hot broth mixture into slow cooker. Cover and cook until rice is tender, about 2 hours on high.
• Return reserved broth mixture to boil. Slowly stream 2 cups more hot broth mixture into slow cooker, stirring gently, until liquid is absorbed and risotto is creamy, about 1 minute.
• Gently stir in Parmesan, chives, remaining 2 tablespoons butter, and lemon juice. (Adjust risotto consistency with additional hot broth mixture as needed.) Season with salt and pepper to taste and serve. (This dish does not hold well on warm setting.).

Steps:

Steps:

• In a large saucepan, cook the sausage over medium-high heat, breaking up with a spoon, until browned, about 4 minutes.

Steps:

• Heat a large saucepan over medium heat. Add the butter, oil and onion. Cook for 6 to 8 minutes or until soft and golden.
• Place the stock in a separate saucepan. Cover and bring to a slow simmer.
• Add the rice and lemon rind to the onion mixture, stirring over medium heat for 2 minutes or until the rice is translucent.

Steps:

• Heat the basil oil in a saute pan over medium heat and saute the shallots until they have softened.
• Lightly coat the insert of crock pot with some extra basil olive oil.
• Add the sauted shallots and basil oil to the crockpot insert.
• Add the rice and coat it with the mixture.
• Stir in the wine.
• Stir in the chicken broth.
• Add the salt.
• Cover and cook on high for about 2 hours or until all the liquid is absorbed.
• Just before serving, stir in the cheese.
• Have extra grated cheese to put on top of each serving.
• If I was going to add shrimp, chicken, corn, salmon etc.
• ,I would add it after the cheese had been stirred in, allowing just enough time to warm up the item but not to overcook it.

Steps:

• Bring stock to boil in a saucepan, keep on a low heat while you are making the risotto.
• In saute pan, melt butter and add garlic and onions, allow to cook for 5 minutes.
• Add rice and stir continuously over a low heat until the grains start to soften.
• Over a medium heat begin to add the hot stock a ladle at a time, allow rice to absorb all stock before adding next ladle.
• Continue to add the stock gradually , stirring all the time for about 15-20 minutes (mum prefers to cook her risotto for 40 minutes, but up to you).
• Rice is ready when is soft, but still has chalky "bite" to it in the middle.
• Tip frozen peas in (and gammon or other cooked meat if using) and stir in and heat through, about 3 minutes. by this time the peas should be defrosted and the risotto bubbling again.
• Finally stir in parmesan and serve immediately with thinly sliced parmesan on top.
• For vegetarian do not use the chicken stock.

Steps:

• Heat stock in saucepan over medium heat; keep at a low simmer.
• Heat olive oil in a heavy-bottomed saucepan over medium heat.

• Cook, stirring, until wine is absorbed by rice.
• Using a ladle, add 3/4 cup hot stock to rice.
• Using a wooden spoon, stir rice constantly, at a moderate speed.
• When rice mixture is just thick enough to leave a clear wake behind the spoon, add another 3/4 cup stock.
• Continue adding stock 3/4 cup at a time and stirring constantly until rice is mostly translucent but still opaque in the center.
• Rice should be al dente but not crunchy.
• As rice nears doneness, watch carefully and add smaller amounts of liquid to make sure it does not overcook.
• The final mixture should be thick enough that grains of rice are suspended in liquid the consistency of heavy cream.
• It will thicken slightly when removed from heat.
• Remove from heat.
