A simple vegetarian recipe for asparagus or Primavera risotto made in the Multicooker, perfect for spring

The more I use my Redmond Multicooker, the fonder I become if it.  It is compact, adaptable and will fry, stew, steam, boil, bake & slow cook with its 35 functions.   I can see that I’ll be using it more as it become warmer and I don’t want to stand over a hot stove.  I first reviewed my Redmond Multicooker back in October and think that at just over £100 the machine is remarkably good value and is perfect for the smaller kitchen, for students, caravans and boats. It is really well designed and I especially appreciate that all the accessories (including the power cord) fit into the machine for storage.

Redmond multicooker - well designed to store all the accessories.

This month I have made a very easy and seasonal Primavera risotto containing asparagus and two types of peas; mange tout and petit pois, as well as lots of fresh lemon.   This is a leave-it-to-cook risotto with minimal hands on time, admittedly not as creamy as the ones you will get from standing stirring throughout the whole cooking process, but all in all I was very impressed with it.

    We made a risotto in the Thermomix we had on loan and that worked very well, I imagine this does a similar thing, heat and stir…
