An easy slow cooker risotto recipe made extra indulgent by stirring through thick and creamy Cornish clotted cream at the end of cooking!

Overhead shot of slow cooker risotto.

I was sceptical whether risotto would work well in the slow cooker, worrying that it might go a bit mushy. I needn't have worried and now I have perfected this simple and easy slow cooker risotto recipe, which can be tweaked with many flavour combinations.

Best of all I make it extra indulgent by adding a spoonful of Cornish clotted cream at the end of cooking.

Why should I try it?


✔️ An easy throw it all in and switch on recipe.
✔️ Add different flavours.
✔️ Deliciously creamy.
✔️ Cooks in 2 hours.



Ingredients



You will need;
  • Arborio Rice
  • Chicken Stock
  • Olive Oil
  • White Wine
  • Onion
  • Garlic
  • Thyme
  • Parmesan
  • Clotted Cream


Equipment


You will need a 3 litre slow cooker, chopping board and sharp knife to make this slow cooker risotto recipe.



Instructions


One: Chop the onion and garlic and place it in the slow cooker basin with the risotto rice.

Two: Stir in the stock, olive oil, white wine, thyme and cook on high for 2 hours (it may need another half an hour of cooking but test after 2 hours).

Three: Stir through the Parmesan and clotted cream.

Four: Serve with extra Parmesan for an easy and tasty dinner.

Serving Suggestions


I like to serve risotto with crusty bread alongside and a chilled glass of white wine.

There are lots of ways you can add to this basic recipe. Leftover roasted vegetables could be stirred through the sauce, cooked prawns, leftover roast chicken or turkey, spinach (which will wilt into the sauce), different cheeses such as blue cheese or fontina. The possibilities are endless!



Storage


Leftover risotto can be stored in the fridge and re-heated the next day. You could also try making arancini.

    Sounds too good to be true. 😂. Have you ever tried to add vegetables to the risotto - like asparagus or broccoli? I normally add also chicken to cook with... But I am not sure two hours cooking time would be enough though...

    It sounds delicious and super creamy with the clotted cream added as well. I need to try a risotto in my slow cooker one day soon!
