This is the perfect dish to make when you've got lots of grains to use up in the cupboards. We love to use a combination of risotto rice, pearl barley and lentils, but you can use all risotto rice or try other grains you have - just make sure at least half of the recipe uses risotto rice.
We find that lentils can really differ in cooking time, therefore you may need to cook this recipe longer depending on how long it takes for them to become soft.
