Prawn, Tomato & Lime Risotto (Gluten Free, Dairy Free)
Hello everyone, welcome to my latest recipe for Gluten Free and Dairy Free Prawn, Tomato & Lime Risotto.
I'm back at Cardiology this morning - one of the symptoms of my Ehlers Danlos Syndrome is extremely low blood pressure. I'm talking 'the blood pressure machine can't be working' low! I've been taking medication for about 6 months that has really helped and brought it up to the very bottom of normal. It does make me laugh though when I go to a pharmacy to pick up the tablets they never have it in stock. I think we are more of a country of high blood pressure rather than low!
Today's recipe is definitely one born out of random things I have in the fridge but work really well when combined. Risotto is a meal I often make to use up bits and pieces I have left over from the week rather than a meal I plan to have. This one has beautiful prawns, sweet cherry tomatoes and a squeeze of lime juice for some added zest.
