Saturday, 05 October 2013 07:37  by Mitzi

This warmly spiced seafood dish will lift your mood on the gloomiest of days. Unlike traditional risottos that require constant stirring, this microwave version requires virtually no work but yields exceptionally creamy results. Try serving with roasted green beans or sautéed kale.
