Have made this a few times for guests, it is such a favourite although can never quite get mine as liquid-y as the picture. The liquid always seems to be all soaked up by the risoni despite any adjustments.. any tips? smile

Hi Netta, no problem to just leave it out, or you could add baby spinach leaves or blanched asparagus. Enjoy! The DH team
