Karen’s Speedy Courgette & Bacon Risotto
This recipe comes from the New Covent Garden Soup Company’s - Soup & Beyond book. I can really recommend the Covent Garden cookbooks as I have a couple and so far all the recipes I’ve tried have always been delicious. They saved my bacon on Christmas Day when I had a soup disaster and found I had all the ingredients for the Lentil and Bacon soup in the cupboard!!
Anyway, back to the risotto. We were shopping at a local farm last weekend, at this time of year the local produce is amazing and they had some really great looking green and yellow courgettes so we bought a load and then weren’t sure what to make with them. Mid week Stewart was looking through the cookbooks trying to find inspiration and the Covent Garden book fell open at this page and he decided to test it out. It was simply divine! Really tasty! Matthew loved it too as he had a little bit for lunch the next day!
