Notes
Ham can be a little salty for babies < 1 year of age, so use sparingly or sub for chicken if preferred.
Cool any leftover risotto within one hour and store in an airtight container in the fridge to use within the next 24 hours. Alternatively, any leftover risotto can also be divided into baby or family friendly portions and frozen.
TIP: To help cool your leftovers quickly, either divide into smaller portions onto a wider surface area (such as a plate) or place your bowl of leftovers into cold iced water.
Risotto will best be reheated in the pan, adding a splash of stock, water or milk. Stir often and reheat until piping hot all the way through and serve immediately. Alternatively, place into a microwaveable dish and add a splash of milk. Cover and reheat until piping hot all the way through, stirring every 30 seconds. If using frozen risotto, defrost before reheating. Only reheat leftover risotto once.
