apple and walnut risotto with gorgonzola

this recipe is vegetarian, not vegan.<br /> Some vegetarians eat eggs, milk and/or cheese and this recipe was thought for them. for all the people who wont eat meat but do love cheese.<br /> if you are vegan look for vegan recipes, not vegetarian.<br />

# Ovo vegetarianism includes eggs but not dairy products.<br /> # Lacto vegetarianism includes dairy products but not eggs.<br /> # Ovo-lacto vegetarianism (or lacto-ovo vegetarianism) includes animal/dairy products such as eggs, milk, and honey.<br /> # Veganism excludes all animal flesh and animal products, including milk, honey, and eggs, and may also exclude any products tested on animals, or any clothing from animal.<br /> <br /> This is actually a vegetarian dish BUT depending on what type of vegetarian you are will be the deciding factor on whether or not you can eat this risotto!

I am confused for the same reason as Rosie. Can anyone help us?

Jamie needs to revise his assessment of a veggie meal or at least put a warning in the title that neither cheese is vegetarian but alternatives are available. <br /> <br /> You can get gorgonzola marked suitable for veggies or dolcelatte would work as a substitute. Parmesan is more difficult.

This recipe sounds lovely but I'm a bit confused...first step says to make the basic risotto recipe then proceed with that acting as a base for this recipe. Is the 700ml of stock called for in this recipe really in addition to the 1.1 liters in the basic recipe? In which case, surely the rice will be overcooked (both recipes seem to include the cooking rice part)? Advice gratefully received from anyone who has made this before :o)

It's true, neither gorgonzola or parmesan are vegetarian. The nearest vegetarian alternative for gorgonzola is Dolcelate, and for parmesan there are a couple of alternatives - I tend to use something called "Not Just a Pasta Cheese" that you can find at vegetarian delis.<br /> <br /> It is irritating when things made with gorgonzola are marked as vegetarian. It's a bit like paying for cod and chips, only to find later on that it's another cheaper type of fish.

@Shrivy<br /> <br /> It is actually possible to get cheese with non-animal rennet (in Australia anyway). I buy mine from my local Farmer's Markets: http://www.countryvalley.com.au/highlandorganics.html<br /> It tastes exactly the same as cheese with animal rennet. <br />

I don't like apples and walnut make me throw up. Can I make this risotto with just the gorgonzola?

This recipe looks very nice, will try that soon !<br /> I loled so much at the angry vegetarian comment on parmesan being non-vegetarian and thus this risotto being a 'criminal offense (under the Trade Descriptions Act 1968)' ! Thanks man, the world is truly a better place with people like you. Peace.

dissapointed. There is no nutritional information on this website, my Grandad ate this, presuming that it woild have a low calory count. Luckily it did, but he could have died because there was no way of knowing, my Grandad was shocked which led to a heart attack, luckily he survived.

VEGETARIANS BEWARE!!! This recipe is absolutely not vegetarian and should never have been included in the vegetarian section. Neither Parmesan nor Gorgonzola is vegetarian (some other cheeses are sometimes vegetarian and sometimes not). Both are made using calf rennet, which is an enzyme extracted from the stomachs of slaughtered calves. Parmesan has to be made in a particular way under a European Union Regulation and can never be vegetarian. There is no such thing as 'vegetarian Parmesan'. Vegetarian cheese can not legally be called Parmesan. I am dismayed that Jamie Oliver does not know this. The idea that Parmesan can be included in vegetarian dishes will be passed on to the next generation of chefs trained at his Fifteen restaurants, to the viewers of his TV programmes, and to the readers of his books. Restauranteurs are committing a criminal offense (under the Trade Descriptions Act 1968 and a European Union Directive) every time they hand out a menu showing the 'V' (vegetarian) symbol against a menu option which includes Parmesan (or any other non-vegetarian item). Many vegetarians do not know about this, and others have their choices severely restricted or removed altogether when they eat out. As well as being vegetarian I also have type 1 diabetes, which means I have enough genuine problems when eating out, without having additional unnecessary problems heaped upon me.

I made the apple and walnut risotto. Holy cow was it fabulous!!!! Everyone that I have made if for would like to come over to eat it again. I have also made the squash and pancetta risotto. Actually I dream about these two recipes...haha.

This was really delicious - apples & lemon made it fresh, crunchy and light. The gorgonzola, goat and parmesan made a good combination. Very addictive and will make this regularly. Thanks Jamie! :-)

I just love NUTS! in my food, in my burrow, and on my mate. My family loved the extra nuts that were placed in this recipe and i will collect the ingredients soon again. I am a squirrel and you can find me in a tree, on a power line, in a cat's stomach, or on a car's tire. I have recently been the star of a local forest play "the nutcracker" where i stood and cracked nuts, so im famous. I have a strong addiction to acorn-phetamines and piss on things to mark my territory. Please send a package of unroasted salted assorted nuts to my address:123 Old oakey lane. Thank you, your furry friend Monika the squirrel munch munch squeak squeak

YER SO DO I WHY BLOCK MY MATES FOR LOL YOUR FOOD IS OK

Hi Jamie, I'm from Holland... I just wanted to let you know that your risotto recipe was to die for!! Easy to prepare and an eyecatcher on the table.

Thanks Jamie for inspiring me to try the basic risotto recipe in one of your books. I thought I would give it a go but I have encountered a gluggy thick mess served up after ordering risotto in a restaurant . I make a risotto about once a week now & love the flavor combinations. It is winter here in Aus so I make the heartier Mushroom, or roasted squash sage & chestnut but in summer I definately favor prawn & baby pea or asparagus mint & lemon.

After a bit of work I have finally mastered Risotto. It is a joy, thanks Jamie.
Any chance the vegtable "Marrow" is given full glory by someone at "Fifteen”. It seems to be everywhere but on top chefs menus. This is a crime!
Surely a Marrow and something (peas, mint) risotto is possible? I will be experimenting shortly. I will let you know my results.

For those people who find the risotto's too cheesy try putting in about 1/2 to 2/3 the amount of parmesan the recipe calls for. I do this with all Jamie's risotto recipes and find it turns out much nicer IMO.

gorgonzola cheese is way too strong of a flavor for me

hi everyone how are you doing i hope you all like my son's food love ya bye

anybody hav Jamie's potato recipe?

Just polished off my 2nd plate of this risotto... My first ever attempt and I have to say it was delicious, light and fragrant with a sweetness from the apple that was just so pleasant to eat. Definitely one that will appear on a more regular basis on the table. Thanks!

I'm french.i have do a work placement in England and it's was very fun.I love the recipes of Jamie Oliver.It was a very great chef!
