In September's Edition of The Fox Box, all of the food featured was filled with the refreshing flavour of lemon.
Most of you said that your favourite product was the lemon risotto from Just So Italian, Market Harborough. If you didn't subscribe this month, you also missed out on our recommended recipes. However, this one was so good that we couldn't have you guys missing out now, could we?
The great thing about this recipe is that it's totally adaptable. The risotto is delicious and simple on its own. It's naturally creamy but still suitable for vegans. We've left the recipe suitable for all dietary requirements but you could add parmesan shavings, prawns, mussels or chicken for an even more indulgent dinner.
