Loads! You can pretty much put in whatever you like. I use olive oil instead of butter for the frying and you don't need cheese. We had a lovely one the other day that I made with chicken, veg and coconut milk.

Not really, I just made it up as I went along :oops: This is roughly what I put in it -

2 tbsp olive oil
1 clove garlic, crushed
2 Cups of Risotto Rice
2 Small Onions Diced
1/2 can coconut milk
2 tbsp of white wine vinegar
3 Chicken Breasts
Mixed veg, either frozen or fresh, whatever you have, I used carrots, green beans, peppers, frozen peas.
Salt and Pepper To Taste
1 tbsp mixed herbs
chicken stock
1 teaspoon of salt

Melt the oil in a large pan and add the diced onion, garlic and rice and brown until the onion is softened.

Add half the stock and allow to soak up the water for a few minutes.

Add the mixed vegetables and the rest of the stock cover and simmer for about 10 mins. Stir a few times.

Fry the chicken in a pan until browned, then put it in with the vegetables and rice.

Add the coconut milk and stir through cook for 10 minutes then add the salt, mixed herbs, mustard, white wine vinegar and cook on a low heat until all of the liquid has been absorbed.

If I had any white wine I would usually add a glass in with the coconut milk.
