Risotto Bake Recipe. Perfect for picnics and sneaky veg.

Summer is over already.

Sigh.

But thankfully here in Melbourne the warm weather tends to last quite a  long way into March. Although I no longer have long days spent swimming in the beach and staring at the water over the top of my toes, I can still head out for a picnic or a bike ride, to really make the most of the warm, glowing evenings.

This risotto bake recipe is perfect for such on occasion.

The Risotto bake recipe will keep in the fridge so you can prepare it ahead of time. It also has a nice dose of veg and eggs in it which means it helps me to obtain my goals of eating as though I live on a Greek Island.

Make it and take it on a picnic to your favourite little spot and serve with a side salad and a little glass of red. Why should those who live near the Mediterranean Sea have all the fun?

What is your favourite recipe for increasing your intake of Summer bliss and/or vegetables?

Happy Eating.
