"I love risotto! The vegetarian broth is vital to give it flavour - I use a broth concentrate and use twice the amount for risotto. The colour is equally important so consider a mix of red/green/yellow/orange peppers. Make sure your risotto is a little bit 'wet' in the end, so the dish doesn't get dried out and pasty."

This is delish! Here in Spain, they have great artichoke hearts and roasted red peppers available in jars so I just throw them in when the rice (bomba paella rice) is almost ready. I leave out the white wine for health reasons. Gracias for this recipe!

Great, flavorful recipe. My boyfriend is Italian and loved it, too! I used two fresh artichokes instead of the hearts. I boiled the whole (trimmed) artichokes until tender, scraped the pulp out of the leaves with a spoon and chopped the hearts and stems. Everything else I did exactly the same, and it was delicious! The only change I may make in the future is to use slightly less parsley so as not to overpower the other flavors.

Peppers and artichokes is a good combination of vegetables and the reduction of the broth concentrated the flavors from the broth wonderfully in the rice. I was a little piggie and ate it all myself and enjoyed it!
