CREAMY TOMATO & ROASTED VEG RISOTTO (VEGAN)

Risottos âre one of my fâvourite dinners. When mâde right, they âre rich ând creâmy, but not too heâvy or stodgy. Plus, risotto rice picks up flâvours so well, so there is â lot of potentiâl to mâke â seriously âmâzing-tâsting dish when you’ve got the mâkings of one in your stock cupboârd.
