I love lamb and I love risotto. This recipe is easy and don't have to stand in front of the stove stirring the risotto.
Exactly!! And best of all it is very tasty! :-)
Do you think I can substitute the brown rice with Arborio rice? I'm just concerned if it will turn too mushy in the slow cooker.
I thought my brown rice was going to be mushy too, coz I agak agak the amount of the veg juice. But I let it cook for 6 hours on high setting and it turned out really well. With brown rice, what I am always afraid of, it will get under cooked, coz it takes slightly more liquid than the normal rice.
Hooi Imm, I don't know what Arborio rice is, but if you know what amount of liquid it takes to cook it, I think you should be ok.
What I should have done with the lamb was to drench it a little with the juice since it sort of dried up when cooked. The lamb sits on top of carrots and not much is of the juice touches it. But dried up or not, it was very tender separates easily.
oh, Arborio rice is the rice used to make risotto.
Haha, Hooi Imm, I didn't know that risotto uses a special rice! Because of my special diet, brown rice is the preferred choice! Hehe, moreover this is my first risotto.
That means Arborio rice should be no problem as all in this recipe! :-)
